(seq-concatenate TYPE SEQUENCE...) Concatenate SEQUENCES into a single sequence of type TYPE. TYPE must be one of following symbols: vector, string or list. This is a generic function. Implementations: (type &rest sequences) in 'seq.el'. Undocumented ___ 1. See bug #42323 for the problem of the unhelpful, implicit reference to CL implementations and "generic function". 2. The doc of `seq-concatenate' _really_ needs a description of how it differs from `cl-concatenate'. That's completely unclear. 3. The doc says nothing about each SEQUENCE actually being automatically converted (by copying, presumably) into a real sequence: `seq-into-sequence'. It's not clear what's allowed as SEQUENCE. #2 is the main reason I filed this bug report. What's the difference? Why/when would you use one rather than the other?
