Do you think a typical user would ever use both?  (Or is this an efficiency that most can live w/out?  I'm just curious how much we should "explain ourselves" in their docstrings.)

PS: If I were to use chebyshev as my "template," what would you say is the next most useful/algorithmically-studied polynomial basis to implement?

Is the only difference that which is in the Notes of trimseq: "Do [sic?] not lose the type info if the sequence contains unknown objects"?


trimseq works on sequence types and doesn't attempt to turn them into ndarrays, so does less work than trimcoef. trimseq is also used in as_series where trimcoef can't be used because the latter calls as_series itself to convert its arguments to ndarrays. I admit the distinction is not obvious at first glance.
