I know, it sounds simple, but there are some complications.
I'll look at it again.
----------------------------------
One possible solution is wrap the built-in functions you need to
routine_id.  I can only imagine a handful of reasons why you would need
this (a roundabout way of executing strings being one of them), since
all the built-ins are above any written code.  It might look something
like this:

atom putsID
global procedure id_puts_screen(sequence s)
  puts(1,s)
end procedure
putsID = routine_id("id_puts_screen")

call_proc(putsID,{"Testing."})

Using routine_ids for built-ins would be slower than calling them
directly; but if it were really needed, perhaps a standard include of
all built-ins wrapped would answer the need.
