nonorthogonality among list/vector/string procedures

[Jonathan A Rees <JAR@AI.AI.MIT.EDU>]

The answer to the below question is that we made no attempt to make the
set of available sequence manipulation procedures uniform accross the
various sequence types.  But this doesn't mean we shouldn't consider
making things more uniform, either by adding or removing procedures;
doing so would make the language easier to learn.
