Works like the bash `seq` command.

Unlike `until` and `untilStep`, `seq` returns a **space-separated string**,
not an integer slice. It's meant for emitting the numbers directly into

`untilStep`.

* 1 parameter (end) - will generate all counting integers between 1 and `end` inclusive.
* 2 parameters (start, end) - will generate all counting integers between `start` and `end` inclusive incrementing or decrementing by 1.
* 3 parameters (start, step, end) - will generate all counting integers between `start` and `end` inclusive incrementing or decrementing by `step`.
