This discussion keeps coming up time and again.  sjoerd's trick has been tried a few times already, until people implementing it realized that trying to display the builtins dict (directly or indirectly) would quit the interpreter!

'quit' cannot just be a synonym for 'sys.exit' either, because typing 'quit' would just print '<built-in function quit>', which is worse than the current situation in term of expliciteness.
