The one thing that's nice about the name vector as opposed to 
Array is that it's not going to be confused with the arrays in 
the language, which is way too easy to do with Array (especially 
in verbal conversation). Everyone who's used C++ much knows what 
you're talking about when you're talking about a vector as a 
container. But considering what a vector is outside of the STL, 
it's definitely an odd choice.
