Yes, it's the string that tells you the proper way to exit the interpreter.

But does this really belong in __builtins__? Wouldn't it be better for
the interactive interpreter to register it as a global when it sets
up, as it only makes sense in the context of the interactive
interpreter?

Not that it's a big deal :)
