## Although this module has ``seq`` in its name, it implements operations
## not only for `seq`:idx: type, but for three built-in container types under
## the ``openArray`` umbrella:
## * sequences
## * strings
## * array
##
## The system module defines several common functions, such as:
## * ``newSeq[T]`` for creating new sequences of type ``T``
## * ``@`` for converting arrays and strings to sequences
## * ``add`` for adding new elements to strings and sequences
## * ``&`` for string and seq concatenation
## * ``in`` (alias for ``contains``) and ``notin`` for checking if an item is
##   in a container
##
## This module builds upon that, providing additional functionality in form of
## procs, iterators and templates inspired by functional programming
## languages.
##
## For functional style programming you have different options at your disposal:
## * pass `anonymous proc<manual.html#procedures-anonymous-procs>`_
## * import `sugar module<sugar.html>`_  and use
##   `=> macro<sugar.html#%3D>.m,untyped,untyped>`_
## * use `...It templates<#18>`_
##   (`mapIt<#mapIt.t,typed,untyped>`_,
##   `filterIt<#filterIt.t,untyped,untyped>`_, etc.)
##
## The chaining of functions is possible thanks to the
## `method call syntax<manual.html#procs-method-call-syntax>`_.
