Implementing your suggestion would make me feel uncomfortable. Turning seq into an unsafe operations effectively places it outside the language, like unsafePerformIO isn't really part of the language (in my view, at least). But experience has made it clear that there are plenty of occasions in which we cannot really do without seq (even though its presence in the language is prominent subject of debate).
