Other useful arguments to `seq_range()`:
* `pretty = TRUE` will generate a "pretty" sequence, i.e. something that looks
nice to the human eye. This is useful if you want to produce tables of
output:
```{r}
seq_range(c(0.0123, 0.923423), n = 5)
seq_range(c(0.0123, 0.923423), n = 5, pretty = TRUE)
```
* `trim = 0.1` will trim off 10% of the tail values. This is useful if the
variables has an long tailed distribution and you want to focus on generating
values near the center:
```{r}
x <- rcauchy(100)
seq_range(x, n = 5)
seq_range(x, n = 5, trim = 0.10)
seq_range(x, n = 5, trim = 0.25)
seq_range(x, n = 5, trim = 0.50)
```
