No. But I would a lot more if they provided a greater degree of OO.  For example
if the namespace was declared in the include file rather than by the end user,
and if the namespace was taken from the relative path name and folders, like

-- math/matrix.e
package math:matrix
constant VERSION = 1.2.3

type matrix ...

function identity()
..etc
export matrix,identity(),mult(),add(),VERSION

-- program
include math:matrix.e

matrix bob

bob = identity()

if isa(bob,math:matrix.e) then
    puts(1, "It's from the matrix include")
end if

Like Perl :)

But that's a large thorny topic so I'm happy with the current system as it is
until around version 6...
