These are syntax highlighters, they only distinguish syntax, not semantics or symbols. It would therefore only be possible if functions are _syntactically_ distinguishable from any other names, but thats not the case in most languages (including C and C++). > > > > The documentation doesn't say (anywhere I can see) in which order the > > > multiple .conf files are processed, or which overrides what. > > > Nothing in the default .confs overrides anything else. > > In the filetypes.common there is a section with this comment: > [named_styles] > # This is the Default "built-in" color scheme > which led me to believe that these were the default values that could be > redefined by other .conf files; presumably then it must mean only that it is > defining the style called "Default", or the one that will be used in the > absence of any file type match. > Yes. I suppose that you could argue that replacing a default value with an actual value is "overriding", but its not like multiple .conf files can override each other in some order as your question implied.
