The discussion period for this proposal is over. Everyone here seems to 
agree it is a good idea.

The patch attached to the trac ticket contains the best versions discussed 
in this thread:
  - Wolfram(kahl <at> cas.mcmaster.ca)'s version of subsequences
  - my permutations8c

Can someone with the power to do so apply this patch?
