seq - print sequences of numbers

Bugs
Option -w always surveys every value in advance. Thus seq -w 1000000000 is a painful way to get an
`infinite' sequence.
SEQ(1plan9)
Description
Seq prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from first (default 1) to as near last as possible, in
increments of incr (default 1). The loop is:
for(val = min; val <= max; val += incr) print val;
The numbers are interpreted as floating point.
Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers. The options are
-fformat Use the print(3)-style formatprint for printing each (floating point) number. The default is
-w Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with leading zeros as necessary. Not effective
with option -f, nor with numbers in exponential notation.
Examples
seq 0 .05 .1
Print 00.050.1 (on separate lines).
seq -w 0 .05 .1
Print 0.000.050.10.
