Hello,

After testing it more, I see that what I've written does not work as I 
expected in the case

(let ((v    (vector (vector 0 1)
                     (vector 2 3)
                     (vector 4 5))))
   (setf (seq-subseq (seq-subseq (elt v 0) 0) 0)
         [10])
   v)

in which I would expect it to replace the first element of the first 
sub-vector with 10. I will take more time to continue working on this.

Thank you for your patience.
