Not a big deal, but I'm just wondering why `list()`, `len()`, etc. are highlighted yellow, but `set()` isn't.

Everyone and their mom knows `list` and `len` but only real heads use `set` is my personal conspiratorial reason for this.

Any reason you don't iterate through the built-ins to auto-populate this list?

Not my code. It's meant to run without any Jython or Python environment, hence the hardcoded list. I think it not being a _complete_ hardcoded list is just an oversight by the primary dev.  
I could extend/reimplement this class in Ignition, but then I'm taking on that maintenance debt. Easier to push changes upstream, which I'll probably do at some point.
