I can almost do away with my empire std libs, since nearly everything has been incorporated now.
Damn! What did we miss? 
error.e! :) - fatal_error(), abort_error(), error(), errorf(), set_error_routine(), get_error_routine() - pseudo exception handling throw, catch, drop, fetch, trap...
structs.e - eu is in dire need of a better C/ interface. This would greatly increase the productivity and more importantly, standardization of porting external API's. Whether the average programmer will be dealing with C interfaces directly is not important. What is, is that there is a wealth of API's available in other languages, which eu programmers need to be able to easily access. Someone needs be able to port them and optimally, we don't want to have to redocument everything either, which is the biggest chore. So we need to be able to create ports which represent the original API as accurately as possible, excusing differences between language syntax.
