What it means exactly is that there is an interface called Sequential (defined in https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Sequential.java) that some other interfaces and abstract classes implement or extend, and some clojure data structures that you use implement or extend those, thereby implementing the Sequential interface, and so instances of those data structures will return true for this function.
What it means practically, is that the data structure is seqential, like a list or vector, and not like a map. Depending on what you are wanting to use it for, there may be a better function to consider.
