No, there isn't. Some editors, however, highlight builtin functions - so
'int' is highlighted but 'Int' is not. But you can only find out runtime
wheter something raises a NameError or not.

BTW, it's not a syntax checker what you describe - functions aren't part
of the syntax (statements are).

Gerrit.
