Sequence
Simple sequence abstract datatype, intended to transfer a finite number of
elements from one data structure to another. Some transformations on sequences,
like filter, map, take, drop and append can be performed before the
sequence is iterated/folded on.
Sequence is not designed to be as general-purpose or flexible as, say,
Batteries' Enum.t. Rather, it aims at providing a very simple and efficient
way of iterating on a finite number of values, only allocating (most of the time)
one intermediate closure to do so. For instance, iterating on keys, or values,
of a Hashtbl.t, without creating a list.

See the online API.
Build
- via opam
opam install sequence - manually (need OCaml >= 3.12):
make all install
If you have OUnit installed, you can build and run tests with
$ make tests
$ ./run_tests.native
If you have Bench installed, you can build and run benchmarks with
$ make benchs
$ ./benchs.native
To see how to use the library, check the examples directory.
tests.ml has a few examples of how to convert basic data structures into
sequences, and conversely.
Examples
The module examples/sexpr.mli exposes the interface of the S-expression
example library. It requires OCaml>=4.0 to compile, because of the GADT
structure used in the monadic parser combinators part of examples/sexpr.ml.
