I don't think a rich set of functions make it as complex as a full-blown programming language. Majority of richness of a real programming language comes from compositions over user-built constructs. Functions are just allowing for richer manipulation of control-flow and log-content, but not composition of user-created constructs (say structs, objects and methods, closures etc).
I personally feel things like include or hasItem should be available as functions (external module sounds like an overkill for this). But for xml-parsing, a separate module makes total sense.
