vector, array, sequence, t
Any one-dimensional array is a vector.
The type vector is a subtype of type array; for all types x, (vector x) is the same as (array x (*)).
The type (vector t), the type string, and the type bit-vector are disjoint subtypes of type vector.
Specializing.
(vector{[{element-type | *} [{size | *}{]]}})
size---a non-negative fixnum.
element-type---a type specifier.
This denotes the set of specialized vectors whose element type and dimension match the specified values. Specifically:
If element-type is the symbol *, vectors are not excluded on the basis of their element type. Otherwise, only those vectors are included whose actual array element type
is the result of upgrading element-type; see section Array Upgrading.
If a size is specified, the set includes only those vectors whose only dimension is size. If the symbol * is specified instead of a size, the set is not restricted on the basis of dimension.

The type (vector e s) is equivalent to the type (array e (s)).
The type (vector bit) has the name bit-vector.
The union of all types (vector C), where C is any subtype of character, has the name string.
(vector *) refers to all vectors regardless of element type, (vector type-specifier) refers only to those vectors that can result from giving type-specifier as the :element-type argument to make-array.
