Yes. That is precisely the point. Everything that can be interpreted as a `seq', clojure's `doseq' takes care of it. What I am after are the "special cases" for things one could somehow enumerate but are not a `seq'. A number range is one such thing, and clojure provides 'dotimes' to handle this case. What could be the XYZ that are neither a `seq' nor a number range, for which we would want a `doXYZ' ? In other words, is the set `doseq', `dotimes' and `doall' complete, and if not, what is missing?
