<para>
A Sequence describes the behaviour of values arranged in a single, linear dimension.
Some languages refer to this as a "List". Its similar to an array that uses
incremental integer keys, with the exception of a few characteristics:
<simplelist>
<member>Values will always be indexed as [0, 1, 2, …, size - 1].</member>
<member>Only allowed to access values by index in the range [0, size - 1].</member>
</simplelist>
</para>
<para>
Use cases:
<simplelist>
<member>Wherever you would use an array as a list (not concerned with keys).</member>
<member>A more efficient alternative to
<classname>SplDoublyLinkedList</classname> and
<classname>SplFixedArray</classname>.
</member>
</simplelist>
</para>
