And "vector" confuses the uninitiated who expect it to be an element
of a vector space, to point somewhere, to carry diseases, or to be
something like a single pointer ("interrupt vector").
I really wonder who thought that "vector" was a good name for a
container of not necessarily scalar elements that can change its
dimension.
Maybe someone who was involved with the initial choice of that name
can share some insight?
