Builtin functions can not be used for pre_call hooks

There is a check at line 641 in CodeInstrumenter.py which always assigns the value True to the only_post argument for the _call_() hook if the methods qualified name is builtin. Is there a reason for that?
I would like to get notified via pre_call if a builtin function (e.g. open()) is called.
However, pre_call is not utilized if only_post is true.
If this is intentional the functionality does not work for functions of builtin data types, e.g. [].append("something").
