IMHO, it would be bad if converting lists (and seqs?) to vectors would
be done under the hoods.  There are high chances that you accidentally
pass a seq/list to `contains?` and then suffer from worse performance
without actually noticing.  E.g. you do something like

    (contains? (map fuddle blabla) 3) ;; has at least 4 items

where you actually wanted to do

    (contains? (mapv fuddle blabla) 3) ;; has at least 4 items

Bye,
