Well, the type system can't help us because the types are the same,
but I do wonder if at least the naming couldn't have been slightly
more explicit. "mseq" vs "seq" is a bit subtle.

I guess this is mostly a one-time conversion issue, so not worth
trying to worry about any more, but that internal interface does look
like it's ripe for mistakes.
