Re: check if something can be coerced to a seq

The problem with a seq-able? predicate is that the definition of what is seq-able is often context-dependent. `seq` works on Strings, but you probably don't want `flatten` to turn a String into a sequence of characters. -S clojure.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed

check if something can be coerced to a seq

Hi, I came across this issue while implementing a lazy, efficient flatten that also uses the whole sequence abstraction (flatten java arrays). The problem with (seq x) is, that it will throw an Exception if called on something, that cannot be coerced to sequence, so I just used sequencial?
