Firstly, thanks for this package! I'm playing around with it and it's exceptionally easy to use 👍.

This is a very minor matter (as it's just syntax), but it seems the Seq combinator used here is a Cartesian product (correct me if I'm wrong). Consequently, wouldn't * or × be a more natural choice of symbols? What are your thoughts?

i don't have a great background in these things, but my understanding is that julia is going the other way. the current docs don't even mention * for string concatenation. and see JuliaLang/julia#11030

honestly, i think it's going to confuse more people than it will help. sorry.
