Sorry, not at the moment. Right now, you can use modifiers on
"official" sequences ("first", "last", etc.) so you can say something
like "scan first:10" to scan the first ten messages. I always thought
we should accept those modifiers on user-defined sequence names as well.
I'll probably work on that if I can find the time.
