s = sequins

-- comments below are hypothetical log output (via e.g. print() or a REPL)

cs = s"abcd"
-- > created new 4-element sequins from string.

s1 = s{1,2,3}
-- > created new 3-element sequins from table.

s2 = s1:copy()
-- > created copy of 3-element sequins.

s4 = s2 + 1
-- > created new sequins by adding 1 to 3-element sequins.

s8 = s2 % 5
-- > created new sequins by performing modulo of 5 on 3-element sequins.

s9 = s{1, s{2,3}}
-- > created new 2-element sequins from table.
-- ... OR (probably expensive) ...
-- > created new 2-element sequins from table, 
-- >   with 1 nested 2-element sequins from table.

s9:settable{1, s{4,5}}
-- > (updated/replaced) element 2 of sequins with 2-element sequins.
