Render() method

I had some GL code that I decided to temporarily put in a method named Render() before deciding what to do with it. I didn't see it listed in the script reference class member index, so I figured it's safe to use.

But when I run the project, this method, in a script attached to an otherwise empty game object, runs and I see the GL drawing. Which is cool - I'd like to keep extra rendering code attached to various objects like this, but is Render a built-in method that I should avoid overriding?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function Render() {
3.     GL.Begin(GL.LINES);
4.     GL.Color(Color.white);
5.     for (var edge in edges) {
6.         GL.Vertex(edge.start_vertex);
7.         GL.Vertex(edge.end_vertex);
8.     }
9.     GL.End();
10. }
11.

Good tip - I put in a print("foo") and the console shows it's the first method called in the stack trace. I created a new project from scratch and made a minimal script with just the Render method and a print call, and I attached the script to the main camera, got the same results. I'll send it in via the bug report app.
