       type 'a t = unit -> 'a node

       The  type  of  delayed lists containing elements of type 'a .  Note that the concrete list
       node 'a node is delayed under a closure, not  a  lazy  block,  which  means  it  might  be
       recomputed every time we access it.

       type 'a node =
        | Nil
        | Cons of 'a * 'a t

       A fully-evaluated list node, either empty or containing an element and a delayed tail.

       val empty : 'a t

       The empty sequence, containing no elements.

       val return : 'a -> 'a t

       The singleton sequence containing only the given element.

       val cons : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

       cons x xs is the sequence containing the element x followed by the sequence xs

       Since 4.11

       val append : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

       append xs ys is the sequence xs followed by the sequence ys

       Since 4.11

       val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

       map f seq returns a new sequence whose elements are the elements of seq , transformed by f
       .  This transformation is lazy, it only applies when the result is traversed.

       If seq = [1;2;3] , then map f seq = [f 1; f 2; f 3] .

       val filter : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t

       Remove from the sequence the elements that do  not  satisfy  the  given  predicate.   This
       transformation is lazy, it only applies when the result is traversed.

       val filter_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a t -> 'b t

       Apply the function to every element; if f x = None then x is dropped; if f x = Some y then
       y is returned.  This transformation is lazy, it only applies when the result is traversed.

       val concat : 'a t t -> 'a t

       concatenate a sequence of sequences.

       Since 4.13

       val flat_map : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a t -> 'b t

       Map each element to a subsequence, then return each element of this sub-sequence in  turn.
       This transformation is lazy, it only applies when the result is traversed.

       val concat_map : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a t -> 'b t

       Alias for Seq.flat_map .

       Since 4.13

       val fold_left : ('a -> 'b -> 'a) -> 'a -> 'b t -> 'a

       Traverse  the  sequence  from  left  to right, combining each element with the accumulator
       using the given function.  The traversal happens immediately and  will  not  terminate  on
       infinite sequences.

       Also see List.fold_left

       val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit

       Iterate  on  the  sequence,  calling  the  (imperative)  function  on  every element.  The
       traversal happens immediately and will not terminate on infinite sequences.

       val unfold : ('b -> ('a * 'b) option) -> 'b -> 'a t

       Build a sequence from a step function and an initial value.  unfold f u returns empty if f
       u returns None , or fun () -> Cons (x, unfold f y) if f u returns Some (x, y) .

       For  example,  unfold  (function  []  ->  None  |  h::t  -> Some (h,t)) l is equivalent to
       List.to_seq l .

       Since 4.11
