You may want to read a few documents on functional programming to see
why your locations concept is not good. There are a number of
additional issues as well: one that comes to mind is the interaction
of the garbage collector with pointers into the middle of a vector.
What is so wrong with forms like `(set! (vector-ref foo index) ...)'?
It's generally bad practice to go around destructively modifying data
structures anyway.
