Description
Sometimes scans have accidentally been started in an incorrect location. Adding a starting position argument to seq.scan() and calling acu.move_to() within seq.scan() might mitigate the issue.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of seq.scan() and the acu.move_to() entry point, then inspect any related tests. Determine how a starting position should be represented and whether it should be optional. Done means scans can accept a starting position and move there before scanning, with tests covering the new behavior.
