We already have general function call highlighting, https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/c.vim#L551-L557, but it hasn't made a release yet. I had a quick look at your additions and it seems that the library functions should be defined with :syn-contained and contained in the general function call syntax group. I'm not sure this should be enabled by default and it could, optionally, be configured per library. My assumption is that this was not an oversight but a preference of Bram's given the nature of C.
