I'm not sure it is a good idea to extend dotimes and make it
different from Commong Lisp.
I agree that this would be a bad idea.
I find the name `sequence' for the new function confusing, however,
since it looks so analogous to `list', `string' and `vector', 'making
(sequence from to type) look like a synonym for:
(type from to). Would the name `interval' not be better? After all,
an interval is exactly what the function returns.
Sincerely,
Luc.
