BIFs should be considered exported
All BIFs now have stub functions and are exported. For example in the erlang module: -export([..., is_list/1, ...]). . . . is_list(_Term) -> erlang:nif_error(undefined). But erlang:function_exported(erlang, is_list, 1) returns false, which is weird. Change erlang:function_exported/3 to return true for BIFs.
