Well, I'm the mentor and already discussed this with dresb at IRC a
bit, but my impression is that code is growing up quite well and we
should keep this instead of e_*, mostly because this is simpler and
more extensible.

The only problem I found so far is that Andres is a bit too worried to
get everything possible in the world ready at the first time, much
like Raster ;-) Calm down Andres! Code is looking good and you're
learning a lot during this GSoC.
