Python 3.6 could introduce that, no need to wait for Python 4. :)
However, it wouldn't be critical to this code, unless the builtin's
meaning is also wanted; it'd be on par with the shadowing of 'file'
earlier - given how rarely Python programs actually need 'file'
(rather than 'open'), it's not a big deal to shadow that one.
