well, this natterly brings up one of my old hobby horses,
storing all the sequences in one big tree -- yggdrasil ? --
you can do all sorts of fun and interesting things with
this sort of data structure, for instance, accumulating
traversal frequencies across each node, say, according
to how often it gets credited in searches by users, etc.

wrote a program to do this in turbo pascal in the 80's
and actually typed a big chunk of the old seq handbook
into an early version of it.  as functional and generic
as i could make it for the times, and mores, and could
probably benefit e-mensely from a c-edition, maybe even
mathemunchica, in contemporary memory gigantica.

still "getting round to" documenting the work,
which you may find a start on at this loaction:
