'quit' and 'exit' currently show-up in a dir() of__builtins__.  

If the OP's suggestion is accepted, it should probably be 
implemented just like a builtin:

    def quit():
        sys.exit()

That approach is not at all magical and still allows shadowing 
(quit=2, etc.)

What we have now is an annoying wart.
