BTW, Named styles are just names to use instead of style values in each
of the filetypes.foo files.

It depends on the filetype lexer used for syntax highlighting. Some
support more than one keyword set. Have a look at the system filetype
to see what entries are listed under keywords, those are the only ones
you can override.

More generally, I would like Geany to by default separate type, constant
and other keywords with different styles for each filetype that
supports this. E.g. int red, __FUNC__ green and 'for' blue.
