Hearing about the RC1 today, I downloaded the x64 Windows embeddable zip. I opened a Command Prompt window and ran python.exe to try it out.

I was quite surprised when I ran:
>>>exit()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'exit' is not defined

I read through the notes on the embedded Python releases, but I did not see anything that would lead me to believe that exit should not defined.
 
I also downloaded the distribution for 3.5.2, and did not have the same issue, which leads me to believe this is unintended behavior.

If this behavior is intended, I do apologize for raising this issue.

OS: Windows 10 x64.
