I think there is something to be said for this.  I've gotten confused a
few times by accidentally re-using a stdlib name, and I'm experienced.

One thing I wish in IDLE is for ctrl-N (or some alternate) to prompt
for a filename immediately: opening a new window, then writing code in
it, and then using Save-as seems unnatural to me.  That would also be
a good time to validate the filename, by searching sys.path or whatever.
