The sequence abstraction is documented here: http://clojure.org/sequences
Clearly map is documented as working on sequences. A sequence is not a concrete type as explained by others on this thread. If you really need some specific behavior from a concrete type then do not rely on sequences. Use the concrete type directly in all your code. Choose the right tool to do your job. Clojure offers so many options that this should not be difficult.
