I don=E2=80=99t see here common sequence functions like take-while, drop-=
while, remove (the opposite of filter), mapcat, flatten, etc.=C2=A0
The clojure standard library and dash.el can be used as reference for add=
ing other useful functions as well. Such a library should eliminate the n=
eed for third-party libs like =60dash.el=60. I find it amusing that there=
 were suggestions about a similar library last year and they were quickly=
 shot down=E2=80=A6

Anyways, for the prefixing to make sense functions like mapcar, =C2=A0map=
c and friends should be aliased as well (ideally with names like =60seq-m=
ap=60, =60sea-each=60, etc). =C2=A0

Another thing to consider - if you want the library to be adopted quickly=
 it might make sense to distribute it as a ELPA package for older Emacsen=
.

Should I put it in the Elisp manual in sequences.texi=3F =20
