Hmm. So.. What is being said is we need a smarter parser, that 
recognizes declared values, and marks them as such (different hilighting 
than the built ins though). Seriously though, this is standard in most 
language editors, being able to recognize, especially when its a 
specific language the editor was designed for, when you have declared 
something, otherwise object oriented programming would be a total pain 
in the ass, for example.

That said, the solution is likely one of those, "We will get to it when 
we get the thing working completely, like... next version.", unless 
someone else comes along and does something about it themselves. ;)
