Subject: bug#32125: 26; Doc of `seqp` versus `sequencep`
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2018 06:50:44 -0700 (PDT)

Neither the doc strings nor the descriptions in (elisp) `Sequence
Functions' make clear what the difference is between these predicates.

(It's not even clear why `seq' was added.  What's that about?)

And the name `seqp' seems like a bad choice.  the predicate names
themselves should at least give some hint of the difference.

The doc for `seqp' should not just punt and tell users to go look in
`seq.el' to figure out what it means: "or any additional type of
sequence defined via 'seq.el' generic functions."

And in (elisp) `Sequence Functions' the entries for these two predicates
should be right next to each other.
