Your patch isn't what was asked for by other users.  The Python equivalent to what was asked for was:

identity = lambda arg0, *args: arg0

Regardless, being that it is a functional language construct, it's not going to make it into __builtins__.  Never mind that adding to __builtins__ has a higher requirement than in other portions of the standard library.
