* The `builtin` keyword was poorly received. There isn't a obvious candidate to replace it, and several of us like the word `bespoke`, so it looks like `bespoke` will be the replacement. (If someone ends up complaining about it, we've got several other choices.)
Alas, i was on vacation when this happened, but i'd like to chime in nonetheless. I'm Anglo-Canadian, and i had to find this word in the dictionary. That said, i haven't found a better alternative, and it's no worse than any other strange word to a newcomer, e.g. Monad. But when i read "bespoke" in adjectival position it makes my English parser go "wat". I read on a few online dictionaries that "bespoken" means about the same; is this so? and if so may we rather use it?
