_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Return the names of all the built-in objects.  These are fetched
     directly from the symbol table of the R interpreter.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     builtins(internal = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

internal: a logical indicating whether only 'internal' functions (which
          can be called via '.Internal') should be returned.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'builtins()' returns an unsorted list of the objects in the symbol
     table, that is all the objects in the base environment. These are
     the built-in objects plus any that have been added subsequently
     when the base package was loaded.  It is less confusing to use
     'ls(baseenv(), all=TRUE)'.

     'builtins(TRUE)' returns an unsorted list of the names of internal
     functions, that is those which can be accessed as
     '.Internal(foo(args ...))' for foo in the list.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A character vector.
