Topic: rename `Task.seq`?

I don't think I could guess what Task.seq does based on the name alone. So I'd like to explore some other options and see what people think:

Feel free to suggest your own!

Sidenote: I don't think the function will be used so often that we need to prioritize minimal length of the name.

I agree we don’t need to shorten it

I think Task.sequence is descriptive enough, though. It creates a task sequence from a list.

chainAwait or walkAwait sound to me more like what loop does (where you control each step)
