(I think I did suggest 'builtin', but it was buried in a sentence, so it was easy to miss.) Honestly, I don't care particularly much which exact word it becomes just as long at isn't some 'cute' or obscurse[1] word. 'magic' belongs in the 'cute' category, I think and 'bespoke' belongs in the latter. Of the remaining alternatives I like 'builtin' and 'standard' the best, simply because they're common and not all that overloaded when it comes to their meaning in programming languages.
