"seqout" is an ACD datatype, and codret is using a datatype name as a 
parameter name, which is probably not a great idea. But, as much as I'm 
all for consistency, I think you have to assume that parameter names could 
be anything.  "outseq" is a popular parameter name for output files of 
type "seqout", "seqoutall", and "seqoutset", and is actually only used 
about 20 times in EMBOSS.
