Description

From the documentation: Return the names of all the built-in objects. These are fetched directly from the symbol table of the R interpreter.

In FastR the list of builtins is accessible in the TruffleRLanguage, which is accessible via RContext.getInstance().

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the TruffleRLanguage class to find how builtins are stored, then implement the builtins function to return the list.
