    Stefan> Hmm... I suggest the patch below.

That fixes `seq-empty-p', but others are still sub-optimal, eg
`seq-concatenate':

    (seq-concatenate arg1 &rest rest)

which is defined as:

    (cl-defgeneric seq-concatenate (type &rest sequences)
      "Concatenate SEQUENCES into a single sequence of type TYPE.
    TYPE must be one of following symbols: `vector', `string' or `list'.

    \n(fn TYPE SEQUENCE...)"

The signature is correct, but doesnʼt obey the "(fn" thing, nor does
it preserve the argument names.
