Description
Currently the staticfiles finders' find function has a paramter all which is also a built-in function. Personally, I consider using built-ins as parameters/variables to be bad form, and would usually just rename the parameter in my subclasses. Unfortunately, find is explicitly called with all=all in django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.find(). So, to use the built in all() one needs to use from __builtin__ import all as all_.
There are probably more examples throughout the codebase, but this is the one I've run into.
