seq_before and seq_after depend on the fact that both sequence numbers have the same type and thus the same bitwidth. We can ensure that by compile time checking using a compare between the pointer to the temporary buffers which were created using the typeof of both parameters. For example gcc would create a warning like "warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast".
