I think that's the wrong approach: the kinds of strings returned
are different.

E.g for a vector like [?\C-a], seq-into will return a string with
a single char (the ASCII code 1), whereas key-description will return
the string "C-a".

The most likely situation is that you always want to use
`key-description` because the reason for wanting a string is to
have a human-readable representation of the sequence of events.
