(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.
