There are 4 other not-completely-uncommon cases in the builtins, implemented in a significantly more efficient manner for the latter 2 (ignoring Python v C): min, max, any and all. And map and filter technically but repeatedly concatenating lists together (in python) isn't the most useful way to peg your CPU.
