Things seem to condense as: drop support of %-sequences for input, in
favor of @url with the special case @-; relying on the shell for
wildcards and numbering (using seq). Ah, but if there are only cataloged
sequences then @ is no longer necessary!
A minor PITA for client apps is that they will need a temp file; I
havent yet found an alternative for sequences generated in memory.

In this case maybe not: the rename is totally useless *unless* new types
of sequences are introduced. And if only @-sequences are used, that
rename is irrelevant.
