Pretty much. A `vector` ordinarily refers to an element of a vector 
space. I think resisting this terminology is valid, particularly as a 
mathematician.

Calling general arrays vectors is about as silly as calling general 
functions vectors, it's just that one of these has kind of caught on. I 
still think it is more weird to criticize an array API for _not_ using 
"vector" than for using "vector".
