To spell it out: A Scheme vector is a vector of coordinates in some
generalized coordinate system (think of Lagrangian mechanics in case
you wonder why the coordinate domain does not have to be homogeneous
across the vector). One can equally say that a Scheme vector models a
record with indexed, but otherwise unnamed fields.

It is unfortunate that C++ misuses the vector terminology.
