E.g. try to extends or redefine builtin Python classes on fly. Ruby is so

This, of course, is really cool if you are working
all by yourself on a dissertation or something,
but can be completely disasterous if you are
actually working with other people who need to
know what the expressions of the programming
language mean and do. Back in the day every
good Common Lisp programmer wrote in a
dialect completely incomprehensible to any other
Common Lisp programmer. Kinda fun, but not
"best practice."
