This key should be set in the settings (theme editor). So e.g. create a  
new item with scope: “source.php symbols” and the value: “{  
showInSymbolList = 1; }”.

Of course it'd be best if all languages used same names for function  
names, so they'd be reached with a scope of: “declaration.function  
name” or similar (so we do not need a new setting per language).

There is now very little read from the actual language files, these are  
now only for markup. Colors should be set in the theme editor.
