    This would probably be better solved by using `match` and `typeParams`. 
Something like this:
    
    ```scala
    t match {
      case TypeRef(_, _, Seq(elementType)) => Some(elementType)
      case _ =>
        t.baseClasses.find { c =>
          val cType = c.asClass.toType
          cType <:< localTypeOf[Seq[_]] && cType.typeParams.nonEmpty
        }.map(t.baseType(_).typeParams.head)
    }
    ```
    
    Also not sure whether types with more than one type parameter are handled 
correctly.
