As of today seq.el requires cl-lib, but I think I could easily get rid
of the dependency. Anyway IIRC this was discussed some years ago when I
started working on seq.el, and at the time I also thought such a library
should come preloaded, but the opinion on this list was quite divided.

Oh right, because isearch.el is itself preloaded.
