If anything, I would probably start the name with `__pack`. This way, we could add other builtins that follow the same pattern, like `__pack_slice`, `__pack_reverse` and probably others.

Or if we don't want to start with `__pack`, then no problem, but we might want to settle on a prefix that will work for other builtins on packs as well.
