The idea—and the current toy implementation/alpha—has .unwrap return
whatever type went into the Vector creation. Might be a tuple, list, set,
deque, or it might be an iterator. It might even be some custom collection
that isn't in the standard library.
But you can also explicitly make a Vector into something else by using that
constructor. Pretty much as I gave example before:
set(Vector(a_list)) # Get a set
Vector(a_list)).unwrap() # Get a list (without needing to know type
to call .unwrap())
