Ah, OK, I think I misunderstood that part.

That page says "sequences are single row tables" which means you can query
them, it also links to CREATE SEQUENCE where "SELECT * FROM sequence_name"
is described explicitly, plus there is the implied existence of catalog
entries.  That seems sufficient given that such usage is not all that
useful and so less is more when it comes to pointing it out to users who
should just stick to the provided functions.
