The table is made up of sequence_name and value pairs.
If you want subranges, I suppose you could take the range and subrange together
to form a sequence name.

Card numbers don't need it.

I agree.

Done.

I have a reset_everything method, which if modified for every sequence known to
mankind as they are added, could potentially be broken out to reset_sequence.

If there's a way to calculate the number to use, resetting to that number isn't
so dangerous.

Take a look at my sample test suite and output there.
