I think I would be satisfied with just those builtins which involve 
interfaces to the external world. Where Java allows such 
deviance, they tend to provide an API whereby you can supply 
or register a factory to override or extend the default behavior.

In principle this seems less hackish than stomping on builtins; 
in practice I doubt it makes much difference ;-).

Snort. One of my kids will be voting on Tuesday, but I *still* 
don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
