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.
