Keeping root relatively short has the benefit of being able to easily use "root.name" in the case where "name" was/is used in the local scope. I don't see any reason to make it harder. There might even be a use case for using all explicit root references.

Isn't this an explicit non-goal? We're talking about builtins, the implementation hack, not builtin the module-like object you're supposed to use if you want to do things like builtin.open.
