Hi Richard. I wish it was that simple, but it's not. Here is an example of
how using a builtin name breaks:
```
In [3]: unique = object()
...: class TestId:
...: id = 'something else'
...: unique_id = id(unique)
...:
...:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-e682f00753bc> in <module>
1 unique = object()
----> 2 class TestId:
3 id = 'something else'
4 unique_id = id(unique)
5
<ipython-input-3-e682f00753bc> in TestId()
2 class TestId:
3 id = 'something else'
----> 4 unique_id = id(unique)
5
6
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
```
