One of the best things about this list is that people here realize that
such purely theoretical concerns are not the only ones that matter.
Also, it's not just the special syntax (altho it is very important) --
it's also the fact that vectors cannot be confused for other types
(either statically or dynamically); the abstraction is unbreakable.
