trimseq works on sequence types and doesn't attempt to turn them into
ndarrays, so does less work than trimcoef. trimseq is also used in as_series
where trimcoef can't be used because the latter calls as_series itself to
convert its arguments to ndarrays. I admit the distinction is not obvious at
first glance.
