Yes, like Common Lisp `some'.

And IMHO, it is better to reserve the suffix `-p' for a function
that does not return an especially useful result, i.e., that
really is used mainly or only as a predicate.

If `seq-some-p' returns a sequence element then it should be
called `seq-some', without the `-p'.

The fact that some functions that return useful non-nil results
other than `t' can be used also as predicates does not mean
that they should systematically be named with suffix `-p'.

That suffix draws attention to the use as a predicate.  A case
such as `some-p' should not do that.  Its name should say that
it returns a sequence element.
