I just tried it (commit 200a9669f), and there's still a bug.
If you use "-s" with an argument *and* a negative number, it prints a
usage message.
As a workaround, you can use, for example, "-s:" as a single argument.
```
$ busybox seq -1 1
-1
0
1
$ busybox seq -w -1 1
-1
00
01
$ busybox seq -s: -1 1
-1:0:1
$ busybox seq -s : -1 1
seq: invalid option -- '1'
BusyBox v1.37.0.git (2023-04-10 09:16:21 PDT) multi-call binary.
Usage: seq [-w] [-s SEP] [FIRST [INC]] LAST
Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INC.
FIRST, INC default to 1.
-w Pad with leading zeros
-s SEP String separator
$ busybox seq -s : 0 1
0:1
```
