Yep, I took a look at that before responding.  I'm just not sure what
the fix should be: make (doseq) return nil as advertised, or update
the documentation.  I tend towards the former, although the latter is
fine too. :-)  Either way, something should be fixed. :-)

I folks believe it's a documentation problem, I'm happy to whip up a
patch for that.
