Unfortunately they can't be used here, at least they can't
help make code simpler, because we need to skip some list
entries.

But we can add seq_list_start_at() and seq_list_next_at(),
which take a predicate and will return an entry which matches
the predicate. I thought about it, and I can try it out.
