This was a doozey because I use it everywhere. Is there a better way to globally
rename things? Aye aye aye... computers, man!

;;; vector.el --- Working with Elisp's Vector data type -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;; Version: 0.0.1
;; URL: https://git.wpcarro.dev/wpcarro/briefcase
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "25.1"))
;;; Commentary:
;; It might be best to think of Elisp vectors as tuples in languages like
;; Haskell or Erlang.
;;
;; Not surprisingly, this API is modelled after Elixir's Tuple API.
;;
;; Some Elisp trivia:
;; - "Array": Usually means vector or string.
;; - "Sequence": Usually means list or "array" (see above).
;;
;; It might be a good idea to think of Array and Sequence as typeclasses in
;; Elisp. This is perhaps more similar to Elixir's notion of the Enum protocol.
;;
;; Intentionally not supporting a to-list function, because tuples can contain
;; heterogenous types whereas lists should contain homogenous types.
;;; Code:
;; TODO: Consider supporting an alias named tuple for vector.
