Is this the purpose of Assembly and ComponentFeature? I haven't used
these, but it looks like you can create an aggregate sequence. I had a
brief look at the code and it seems that a current limitation is that
new features cannot be created on the component sequences.

See NewSimpleAssemblyTest in tests which creates a SimpleAssembly
(which isa Sequence) from 6 smaller Sequences.
