of course seq is /usr/bin/seq ! (or wherever it is on your path.) What 
does it have to do with Fish? How can Fish have a possibly-a-builtin, 
possibly-not?(for me, 'type seq' just says 'seq is /usr/bin/seq' ...) 
Isn't it against Fish's philosophy to duplicate external tools that 
don't need to be built into a shell?

Is Mac OS X 'seq' broken, under-featured, (or nonexistent?)?  I would be 
unsurprised.  In 10.3 (the last version I used regularly), I know they 
shipped a version of 'find' that enjoyed segfaulting (or some weird 
error, I forget exactly) when you forgot that their version of the 
'find' command didn't support omitting the path bit (you had to pass 
'.'). Admittedly, I think they just copied the tools from BSD, but that 
doesn't mean they were good tools...
