Perhaps at this point you should consider including |SORT in your
collection of generic ops that apply to sequences. Also, I think that
|SIZE would be better than |LENGTH; "length" makes sense only for sequences,
but "size" is appropriate for lots of objects which are aggregrates of other
objects, such as sets, bags, etc.; hence it is a better "generic" operation.
