+;;; sequence.el --- Working with the "sequence" types -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; URL: https://git.wpcarro.dev/wpcarro/briefcase
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "25.1"))
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Elisp supports a typeclass none as "sequence" which covers the following
+;; types:
+;; - list: '(1 2 3 4 5)
+;; - vector: ["John" 27 :blue]
+;; - string: "To be or not to be..."
+
+;; TODO: Document the difference between a "reduce" and a "fold".  I.e. - reduce
+;; has an initial value whereas fold uses the first element in the sequence as
+;; the initial value.
+;;
+;; Note: This should be an approximation of Elixir's Enum protocol albeit
+;; without streams.
+;;
+;; Elisp has done a lot of this work already and these are mostly wrapper
+;; functions.
+;; See the following list for reference:
+;; - sequencep
+;; - elt
+;; - copy-sequence
+;; - reverse
+;; - nreverse
+;; - sort
+;; - seq-elt
+;; - seq-length
+;; - seqp
+;; - seq-drop
+;; - seq-take
+;; - seq-take-while
+;; - seq-drop-while
+;; - seq-do
+;; - seq-map
+;; - seq-mapn
+;; - seq-filter
+;; - seq-remove
+;; - seq-reduce
+;; - seq-some
+;; - seq-find
+;; - seq-every-p
+;; - seq-empty-p
+;; - seq-count
+;; - seq-sort
+;; - seq-contains
+;; - seq-position
+;; - seq-uniq
+;; - seq-subseq
+;; - seq-concatenate
+;; - seq-mapcat
+;; - seq-partition
+;; - seq-intersection
+;; - seq-difference
+;; - seq-group-by
+;; - seq-into
+;; - seq-min
+;; - seq-max
+;; - seq-doseq
+;; - seq-let

+;; Perhaps we can provide default implementations for `filter' and `map' derived
+;; from the `reduce' implementation.
