awesome! I think random() is another common one, too. yeah, eventually it'd be nice to have the full list pulled from the docs or src, but I don't think it's as high priority. |

Ah good idea! Just added This makes me wish we could add one of those "anonymous usage reporting" types of features that lots of consumer products have, so that we could get statistics on other kinds of errors folks are making, but that'd probably be hard to do in a way that doesn't violate privacy or otherwise weird people out. Maybe it's just best to encourage teachers to keep a spreadsheet of common errors, as suggested in #971 (comment). |

This fixes #1121.
Right now the only global this PR detects and provides help for is
color, as this is one that it seems like beginners often use at top-level code (I stumbled on it when first using p5, and so have others). In the future, though, maybe we could somehow get a list of the global symbols from YUIDoc or something?For now, are there any other global symbols we should provide help for?
