builtin

Call a built-in function bypassing user overrides.

[a1, a2, ...] = builtin(funcname, arg1, arg2, ...)

Calls the built-in function named by the string funcname with the given arguments. Bypasses any user-defined overload of the same name on the path. Useful inside class methods that override a built-in but need to delegate to the original.
