### issequence (obj, *excls) |
Check for sequence types. Arguments: `obj` - The object (any `type`). `excls` - Classes to exclude (`type`), all positional. Returns: `True` if `obj` is a sequence, `False` otherwise. Note: Excluding `tuple` implies excluding `namedtuple`.

### isstr (obj) |
Check for string types. Arguments: `obj` - The object (any `type`). Returns: `True` if `obj` is `str`, `False` otherwise.

### issubclassof (Sub, *Supers) |
Check whether a class is a sub-class of some other class(es). Arguments: `Sub` - The sub-class (`class`). `Supers` - One or more C(super) classes (`class`). Returns: `True` if `Sub` is a sub-class of any `Supers`, `False` if not (`bool`) or `None` if `Sub` is not a class or if no `Supers` are given or none of those are a class.

Return the items of `adict` sorted alphabetically, case-insensitively and in ascending order. Arguments: `items_args` - Optional positional argument(s) for method `adict.items(B*{items_args})`. `asorted_reverse` - Use keyword argument `asorted=False` for case-sensitive sorting and `reverse=True` for results in `descending` order.

### len2 (items) |
Make built-in function `len` work for generators, iterators, etc. since those can only be started exactly once. Arguments: `items` - Generator, iterator, list, range, tuple, etc. Returns: 2-Tuple `(n, items)` of the number of items (`int`) and the items (`list` or `tuple`).

### map1 (fun1, *xs) |
Apply a single-argument function to each `xs` and return a `tuple` of results. Arguments: `fun1` - 1-Arg function (`callable`). `xs` - Arguments (`any positional`). Returns: Function results (`tuple`).

### map2 (fun, *xs) |
Apply a function to arguments and return a `tuple` of results. Unlike Python 2's built-in `map`, Python 3+ `map` returns a `map` object, an iterator-like object which generates the results only once. Converting the `map` object to a tuple maintains the Python 2 behavior. Arguments: `fun` - Function (`callable`). `xs` - Arguments (`list, tuple, ...`). Returns: Function results (`tuple`).

### neg (x, neg0=None) |
Negate `x` and optionally, negate `0.0` and `-0.0`. Arguments: `neg0` - Defines the return value for zero `x`: if `None` return `0.0`, if `True` return `NEG0 if x=0.0` and `0.0 if x=NEG0` or if `False` return `x` as-is (`bool` or `None`). Returns: `-x if x else 0.0, NEG0 or x`.

### neg_ (*xs) |
Negate all `xs` with neg. Returns: A `map(neg, xs)`.

### signBit (x) |
Return `signbit(x)`, like C++. Returns: `True` if `x < 0` or `NEG0` (`bool`).

### signOf (x) |
Return sign of `x` as `int`. Returns: -1, 0 or +1 (`int`).

### splice (iterable, n=2, **fill) |
Split an iterable into `n` slices. Arguments: `iterable` - Items to be spliced (`list`, `tuple`, ...). `n` - Number of slices to generate (`int`). `fill` - Optional fill value for missing items. Returns: A generator for each of `n` slices, iterable[i::n] for i=0..n. Raises: `TypeError` - Invalid `n`. Note: Each generated slice is a `tuple` or a `list`, the latter only if the `iterable` is a `list`. Example:
    >>> from pygeodesy import splice
    >>> a, b = splice(range(10))
    >>> a, b
    ((0, 2, 4, 6, 8), (1, 3, 5, 7, 9))
    >>> a, b, c = splice(range(10), n=3)
    >>> a, b, c
    ((0, 3, 6, 9), (1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8))
    >>> a, b, c = splice(range(10), n=3, fill=-1)
    >>> a, b, c
    ((0, 3, 6, 9), (1, 4, 7, -1), (2, 5, 8, -1))
    >>> tuple(splice(list(range(9)), n=5))
    ([0, 5], [1, 6], [2, 7], [3, 8], [4])
    >>> splice(range(9), n=1)
    <generator object splice at 0x0...>

### unsigned0 (x) |
Unsign if `0.0`. Returns: `x` if `x` else `0.0`.
