In a first time, we can forget the packages like pstricks and pgf.  
The problem actually is all the functions have the same colour.

But newcommand is pure latex,
\define at cmdkey \define at boolkey \presetkeys     \setkey are macros  
xkeyval package only for packages authors

\edef \def are "pur" tex macros

     \draw[shift ={(#2)},\cmdTKZ at Compass@style, 
\cmdTKZ at Compass@color,line width  = \cmdTKZ at Compass@lw]%
      (\tkz at GammaD-\cmdTKZ at Compass@delta:\tkztempLen pt)%
       arc (\tkz at GammaD-\cmdTKZ at Compass@delta:%
            \tkz at GammaD+\cmdTKZ at Compass@delta:%
            \tkztempLen pt);

This a real pgf macro with the syntax :
\draw[  ] (..) ( : ) arc (  :  :  ); it's not obvious to match but I  
have 3000 lines like this
Perhaps on CTAN in the next days.

For me , the need in a fist time it's to work on the keywords for tex  
and latex like
  \ifthenelse{}{} or \whiledo{} \def \edef

The syntax is \def\namemacro{} or  \edef\namemacro{} with latex it's  
different
\newcommand{}{}

todo : latex first and after perhaps tex and latex for package authors

:) wait some days to see the result
