The 2 patches look good.

I consider this a bug in seq: from mathematical point of view, the above
should just output "1" and then exit, because after adding that tiny number
the next number would be greater than LAST.

right

IMO we should enhance seq_fast() to do all the Math when no special
output format is given.
WDYT?

It would be good to expand seq_fast to more cases.

thanks!
