Some, but not all. I don't see a vector-partition equivalent
(seq-partition is different), or a vector-index equivalent
(seq-find/cl-find return the element instead of the index, and is ~10x
slower).
I don't see any replacement for vector-apply, but I admit that the worth
of that one might not be worth the change at this point.
Though I just remembered that (concat vec) does the same as
vector-to-string; if vector-to-string is added, then I suppose it should
be a Lisp wrapper around concat just like string-to-vector is around
vconcat.

For vector-memq, the Lisp implementations almost disallow it from being
used over memq/lists. The equivalent in seq.el, seq-position, is ~100x
slower for smaller vectors and ~200x for larger (500 elements) vectors.
A cl-loop implementation is just slightly better than seq-position.
The main two I care about here are vector-memq/vector-member. The other
ones were just ones I thought up while I was at it.
