I cannot see any good reason why this change couldn't be included in the release so I will submit it to the collector.
Remember that things aren't in the space for multiple reasons... *one* of them is resource issues. You can't us range because of this. 're' is another that can cause HUGE resource problems, as well as allowing people to easily (and accidentally, I've done it dozens of times) write regexs which are infinitely recursive and crash the server. Having said that, I suppose at some point in the future, it'd be nice to control exactly what is available in the name-space in a more flexible way, and let individual administrators decide.
