I believe there were concerns that rebinding quit would cause strange
behavior. E.g.:
>>> quit = False
>>> while not quit: ...
>>> quit
$
Or:
>>> if raw_input('quit?') == 'yes':
... quit
will that work? Should it? Functions are pretty predictable in
comparison to these other options. So, at least to me, quit() == KISS
