As shown in the picture, we currently have the ability to change the color preference for a variety of objects. My suggestion is to have the ability to change the color for built-in procedures. As an example, if I set procedures to green through the preference window, procedures such as min(), Login(), and MouseDown() would be green.

var/smallest = min(world.maxx, world.maxy)

Login() is only built-in in a technical sense. It's more accurately a user-defined proc with a built-in default value. It has little in common with min(), which is basically just bytecode.

This is an interesting idea, although I wonder if it'd be better to have different color codes for proper built-in procs and for object procs.

This could be pretty useful if available for everything. Setting a color for built-in vs user-defined procs, verbs and maybe even vars. Could even subdivide that further down to types.
