Amen to that. For example, I find it pretty amazing that fcntl() is part
of the language, and cwd() isn't.
So why does fcntl(), or flock(), have to be part of the core language,
if you have to import the constants from a module anyway? Put the
functionality and the constants in the same module, that's what I say.
