Fixed, and the */index versions removed.

Fixed.

Specified that any matching indices are acceptable.

Fixed.

Changed to allow (make-vector 10) to return 10 different values for the
elements, though probably no system takes advantage of this.

Removed, with a note that it is incompatible with SRFI 43.
