prove/compute anything you couldn't before. While removing _|_ from the language does make some things nicer to reason about, there aren't many corners where _|_ really gets in the way that much - seq being one of those few corners.
But that is exactly the problem: `seq` forces _|_ to get into the way, when it normally doesn't. So I'm not clear that trying to fit `seq` into a formalization of Haskell's semantics is the way to go.
