I was under the impression that Sequence was used by the "New meta"
parser generator; but after further inspection I believe you're right:
It is unused junk.

SBCL complained about modification to locked package COMMON-LISP when it sees
sequence's definition -- the conditions I ran into that were that I was trying
to get all lisp codes compiled (that is needed for ECL).

Thanks!
