Why not making internal.e which would come with standard EU, containing, 
"wrappers" to internal functions/procedures with some prefix in name, like:

---- internal.e ----
global function _power(object x, objext y)
    return power(x, y)
end function

...
---- end of internal.e ----

This way, you can still use power to refere internal function, and have only one
auxiliary function-call when you use call(routine_id("_power"), {x, y})
