Does anyone want intersperse for Data.Sequence?

[Niklas Hambüchen]

Coming back to your original question:
I don't see any real points against adding it:

1. Name clashes

Data.Sequence exports functions like `reverse`, `zip`, `length`, many
more.
That's an indicator to me that its API, like Data.Vector's, is meant
to be imported qualified.

2. "It has same asymptotics but a better constant factor than X"

How's that a point against?
