If you were to do that, at least have the decency to make it more
readable by doing something like:

        printf "%s\n" 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

;-)

But as I said, as a response to "t6044 broken on pu" bug report,
s/seq/test_seq/ is the only sensible change.

Improving "test_seq, the alternative to seq" is a separate topic.

If you have aversion to $PERL, perhaps do them without using
anything what is not expected to be built-in in modern shells,
perhaps like this?
