Returns a newly allocated vector of k elements.  If object
is specified, make-vector initializes each element of the vector
to object.  Otherwise the initial elements of the result are
unspecified.
Returns a newly allocated vector whose elements are the given arguments.
vector is analogous to list.
(vector 'a 'b 'c) ⇒ #(a b c)
Returns a newly allocated vector that is a copy of vector.
Returns a newly allocated vector initialized to the elements of
list.  The inverse of list->vector is vector->list.
(list->vector '(dididit dah)) ⇒ #(dididit dah)
It is an error if any element of vector is not a character.
The vector->string procedure returns a newly allocated string
of the objects contained in the elements of vector between
start and end.  The string->vector procedure
returns a newly created vector initialized to the elements of the
string string between start and end.
In both procedures, order is preserved.
(string->vector "ABC") ⇒ #(#\A #\B #\C) (vector->string #(#\1 #\2 #\3) ⇒ "123"
Similar to make-vector, except that the elements of the result
are determined by calling the procedure initialization on the
indices.  For example:
(make-initialized-vector 5 (lambda (x) (* x x)))
     ⇒  #(0 1 4 9 16)
K must be greater than or equal to the length of vector.
Returns a newly allocated vector of length k.  The first
(vector-length vector) elements of the result are
initialized from the corresponding elements of vector.  The
remaining elements of the result are unspecified.
Procedure must be a procedure of one argument.  vector-map
applies procedure element-wise to the elements of vector and
returns a newly allocated vector of the results, in order from left to
right.  The dynamic order in which procedure is applied to the
elements of vector is unspecified.
(vector-map cadr '#((a b) (d e) (g h)))     ⇒  #(b e h)
(vector-map (lambda (n) (expt n n)) '#(1 2 3 4))
                                            ⇒  #(1 4 27 256)
(vector-map + '#(5 7 9))                    ⇒  #(5 7 9)
