I like the idea of seq using user-specified sequence of characters (though this 
brings it's own issues),
But my goal was to provide an easy way to generate letters in many languages - 
if the user has to type them explicitly, then seq is no better than "printf 
'%s\n' " followed by all the letters typed by the user...

What do you think?

I'm still working on an improved patch with much more efficient storage. Hope 
to have it in a week or so.
