Type Names in the types Module

I'd like to reject PEP 294.

Adding the type names that are already builtins to types.py is
definitely a bad idea (the patch is full of lines like "int = int" --
this can only serve to confuse).

I propose to leave types.py alone.

If we need a place to name types that don't deserve being builtins,
perhaps new.py is a better place?
