When people ask me why the core classes are lowercased,
Int, float, list, dict, etc were once functions that return objects of type 'int', 'float', 'list', 'dict', etc, before they became 'new-style classes', which are not just 'classes'. The lowercasing was maintained as new builting classes were added.
