I agree.  Although its type should be changed to something like the
following for consistency with MLton conventions.

  val sequence: t list * {finish: string, 
                          separator: string,
                          start: string} -> t

My thinking is that we should eventually move the MLton library into
the new library project.  That way it will use the same versioning
approach as other libraries.
