As far as I know, this is a little bit tricky, because the "gray stream
proposal" doesn't say anything about READ-SEQUENCE or its support, it
only says, that "higher level ... stream functions" should support/call
the lower level gray-stream functions.
It certainly is desirable to support read-/write-sequence for gray
streams, but I'm not really sure, if this is a bug, or not.
