This is not an optimization issue in my eyes.
It is just bizarre to have low-level operators
on low-level data structures operate like this
when there is no reason to, as the `cl-loop',
`cl-dolist' and `seq-find' examples all show.
It is like the basic building blocks of the
universe. Better get them right.
