I'm not sure a single line would be appropriate.
It would either be all or none, right?

The info docs say: "The sequence of numbers ends when the sum of
the current number and INCREMENT would become greater than LAST"

So the output is consistent with that at least.

I notice that the FreeBSD version of seq exits with an error
for an increment of 0.
