I'd prefer the first one
but I'm sure a lot of people will object to the names being so similar 
to the standard headers

With the second one I'd go with fuller names
iseq.hpp -> isequential.hpp
or even -> init_sequential.hpp

I would mainly go for that because it took me a while to figure out what 
seq stood for !! :-|
