    Yes this is absolutely clear now from my point of view.


    I know taht this function has been first called seq-some-p
    then seq-(some and its spec has maybe changed as well. But
    now with your new documentation I htink that documentation
    fit function behavior. That's only what we need. The fact
    that function fit our own need is another question : in
    fact seq-find does !

    Thanks !
