I wrote that I for my project is almost always sufficient built-in functions, and only for the get, I should include get.e.
And I think it's not logical. As for example for XBASE the basis of the outside world it DBF, and for MUMPS GLOBALS and I hardly know what to write them built and read the external function.
I agree. This is a leftover from Rob Craig: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/41899.wc
I'd like to go the other way and see print() become a library (not builtin) function, but that's unlikely to happen. I consider print() obsolete anyways, pretty_print() is superior in virtually every way.
I don't see an issue with get() becoming a builtin, just no one has contributed a patch to do this yet - and writing a version in pure C is not so simple.
