Would supporting other data structures make it slower when using vectors, or only when using non-vector seq's?
If it makes it substantially slower across the board, personally I'd still like core.match to support all of clojure's built in data structures; but I could understand why people would have a contrary opinion. If it only makes the non-vector seq case slower, I'd certainly make that an available option - people are going to have to manually convert other sequences into vectors anyway which creates a coding overhead and also makes the code less likely to be JITed. On the other hand.. YMMV. Thanks for all your hard work David, I love core.match. R.
