You can combine 'drop and 'drop-last to get a seq version of subvec (but lazy 
and O(n)). As for the issue of concrete types: in general, clojure's sequence 
functions return seqs, not instances of whatever concrete type you gave them.  
If you need a specific type, you normally just pour the result through 'into or 
one of the specific collection creation functions.
