So, for you, it is *necessary* that you use `seq` instead of `not-empty`. That 
is, there is some way in which your applications, or your life, would be worse 
if you used the latter - a way that is different than just "it's the way my 
gang does it". I'd be happy to convinced there's a difference, as I'd learn 
something new. What is that difference?
