Rich,

There have been a few times in this thread that people have tried to
determine if a function was seqable, and used the following code

(seq? a-collection)

While this code is great for determining if a-collection is a
sequence, it is sometimes not what people want.  Often the following
code is meant to be used:

(instance? clojure.lang.Seqable a-collection)

I speculate that many people have something like the following code in
their library collection:

(defn seqable?
  "Returns true if (seq x) should work.  That is, it tests if x
implements clojure.lang.Seqable"
  [x]
  (instance? clojure.lang.Seqable x))

Could something like seqable? be added to core?  Am I mistaken in the
need for standardizing this function?

Sean
