you already can:

  $ seq infinity | head -n4
  1
  2
  3
  4

And it's documented in the section "Floating point" which is referred
to in the Texinfo manual.

  https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/seq

Thus, I'm marking this as done.

Have a nice day,
Berny

I can do
$ sleep infinity
so why not
$ seq infinity
also?
