json_stringify does not properly serialize built in functions

[attic-stuff]

Description

when you json_stringify() a user script function you get a proper ref out of it, but when you try to json_stringify() a built in function you just get its numerical index :(

function funny_math(a = 400, b = 20) {
    return a + b;   
}

var booty = { thing_to_do : funny_math };
show_message(json_stringify(booty)); //shows ref

var tooty = { thing_to_do : dot_product_3d_normalized };
show_message(json_stringify(tooty)); //shows 318

the attached file shows this. its a yyz renamed to a zip so u gotta rename it yourself, hackermans style.

On current runtime this is not currently possible as the script reference is just a number and not a handle (it is not a resource)....

As it currently stands this would be very problematic to add / fix
