No, I don't want to remove the setval functions from general sequences. I 
just want to use existing restrictions on the SERIAL data type: by 
definition they start at 0, increase by 1, and are intX. We can ignore the 
current is_called flag and set the min value or is_called flag in such a 
way as to get the desired next value.
