_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function accepts a character vector and computes the length
     of the longest substring containing only 'letter' for each element
     of 'x'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     longestConsecutive(seq, letter) 

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     seq: Character vector.

  letter: Character vector of length 1, containing one single
          character.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The elements of 'x' can be in upper case, lower case or mixed. NAs
     are handled.

_V_a_l_u_e:
