It seems like a small benefit.  I understand it might be handy for your
Common-Lisp implementation, but you can already define your own
`vectorp' to get the same result.  Implementing a language on top of
another will always come with such costs because of (sometimes
subtle) mismatches.
Maybe the Guile guys are more likely to be wiling to make changes to
their system in order to better support some other language (such as
Common-Lisp).
