       I think that is going a bit far.  Surely the sequence functions are
       not nearly useless without this change.  (Recall, for example, that
       some of them just search.)

   Sorry, I don't mean that the sequence functions are useless without
   this change.  "Depreciate" is a technical term from some other
   language standard (Fortran?) that means the feature is left in this
   version of the language but may (will?) be removed in a future
   version. ...
