If we enable setting it the way you proposed than it is not much use the having a separate `generateSequence` and a `generateParallelSequence`. Personally I am not a big fan of the distinction, but if it is there let us do it right. Are the batch versions different? This is not a release blocker though, a JIRA for 0.10 is an OK solution on my side.
