The comment in Smalltalk listBuiltinModules says:

	"Return a list of all builtin modules (e.g., plugins)."

What's wrong with this comment?! Being not a native speaker I might miss
something here but given the selector and comment never even mention any
other than builtin modules I don't see a problem ;-)
