Hello,

Attached are patch files which include the requested shorter doc strings 
for `seq-take-while` and `seq-drop-while`.  The quoting in `seq-mapn` 
has been fixed. I did not delete any of the doc strings because there 
does not seem to be consensus on that.

Is there anything else that you would like changed outside of the 
discussion about the doc strings?

Thank you.
