[Bug 29355] Modernize sequence filtering

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29355

That is why it is time to modernize it. 10 years ago it was probably a great

As A[position() = . to 15]  ?



If B returns a sequences anyway, it becomes position() = B and then it is also
clear how non-integers in the sequence are handled
