I have added some comments to the public access specifiers regarding 
this. I am not overly concerned with having these nested typedef's 
public. It's not like they grant access to anything that should be 
protected (no pun intended). It does, unfortunately, make the public 
interface slightly wider. However, if you want to make a serious 
improvement to the sequence implementation code, I think the way to go 
is to merge all the differing kinds of sequence into a single 
implementation that uses template parameters to implement all the 
special cases. That way you only ever have to fix stuff in one place.
