Ha ha, yes, very good, you got me. But the trouble is, if you don't
trust the truth value of the predicate, it is hard to know when to
stop:
len(collection) == 0
(len(collection) == 0) is True
((len(collection) == 0) is True) is True
(((len(collection) == 0) is True) is True) is True
((((len(collection) == 0) is True) is True)) is True
# ...

MRAB and Ricky:
`__builtins__` is a CPython implementation detail and is reserved for
the interpreter's private use. Other implementations may not even have
it. The right way to write your code should be
import builtins
builtins.bool((builtins.len(collection) == 0) is True) is True
