I forgot strings aren't vectors in Elisp (I rarely deal with vectors).

Both strings and bool-vectors are arrays so I could simply replace
vector with array wherever it matters.  This would include char-tables
too; I don't have experience with those.

But it is conceivale that Elisp might get arrays that are not sequences
in the future.  E.g. CL has multidimensional arrays.  Elisp manual
mentions “all [currently defind types of array are] one-dimensional” so
the notion of multidimensional array is recognised already.

It thus would be nice to have a special type for one-dimensional array.
In CL, it's precisely “vector”.

Anyway, I don't hope this type will appear soon so for the time being
I'll just replace “vector” with “array”.

Lengths are different in the last test.

But it reminded me that I should add an example with a circular list.
After all, this is the case where current implementations of cl-
mappers break (for 3 arguments and beyond).
