I'm no longer entirely convinced that sequence should necessarily map to 
iterables.

In particular, sequence as currently specced would correspond to 
snapshotting the iterable immediately, but that's an odd thing to do 
with an iterable.  A more natural representation of iterables might be 
some sort of iterator object, though then you have to be very careful 
about it throwing exceptions, etc...
