Aside from the fact, that this _IS_ defined in an include, and that
this will probably called a feature request:
Wouldn't it be nice, to have the Codemax-editor highlight also the
identifiers of macros and funtions, that come in includes with a
vanilla-distribution of POV? I mean, there _are_ powerful macros
and functions that come with the includes, so why not make them colored?

..
... Ah, I see... It would probably a lot work, and there are other jobs
with higher priority ... OK, don't bother ...

Just some thoughts, that came into mind ...
