These parts will not be part of final viewport, but are called indirectly during the transition. To avoid runtime errors on core profile, exit early -- functions effectively do nothing.
I put the early exits inside the functions to avoid cluttering the code that calls these. But (long term) the calling functions need to change.
Basic shader's detect_options function was unused and full of old, so I deleted it.
