I hadn't considered it.  I don't use unseen-sequence, but I think it
would make sense that an explicit `-sequence foo' stopped the implicit
unseen-sequence update.

As for inc being silent, «inc -forma ''» almost achieves that apart from
the annoying, noisy, non-Unix, "Incorporating new mail into
inbox...\n\n".
