Re: things are eq? but not generated at the same time

Yes, I can agree om that.

But this should be very stated clearly and perhaps added to a pitfall's section.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say, make vector of
what, the distinct objects? Then you can't do that as a vector literal
anyway. Anyway if vectors are immutable, as I believe they are, it
doesn't really harm to make them eq?

If you want distinctness and mutability, you can always call the vector
constructor.
