1. can_add() and linear()

I'd suggest two additions to sequence.e, which I hope will appear pretty
natural:

global function can_add(object a,object b)
-- Determines whether a+b would crash the interpreter.
-- Returns 1 if addition possible, else 0.
    if atom(a) or atom(b) then
        return 1
    end if
    if length(a)!=length(b) then
        return 0
    end if
    for i=1 to length(a) do
        if not can_add(a[i],b[i]) then
            return 0
        end if
    end for
    return 1
end function

global funtion linear(object start,object increment,integer count)
-- Returns 0 on failure, or a sequence of count objects.
-- The first one is start, and the whole sequence is a linear progrssion using
increment.
    sequence result

    if count<0 or not can_add(start,increment) then
        return 0
    end if
    result=repeat(start,count)
    for i=2 to count do
        start+=increment
        result[i]=start
    end for
    return result
end function

The latter might go to math.e just as well, but for its dependency on can_add().

There hasn't been a single comment regarding this post for the past 8 days. May
I assume that I can go ahead with the additions/moves?
