Hi,

I think adding these functions would mostly be code duplication. Please
bear in mind that seq.el was written to provide a good built-in sequence
library in Emacs. If seq-take doesn't provide exactly what you need,
you could propose a patch to improve it instead.

All functions in seq.el are prefixed, so there's no global namespace
polluting, and I consider many functions provided by seq.el to be
fundamental operations on sequences.
Also, seq.el is not pre-loaded today because it's a new library, so it
is not widely used in Emacs yet, but that could change in the future.
