FWIW this is what Racket does, so there is precedent there, but Mark Weaver and I explicitly avoided doing this with (ice-9 json) because vectors are 1) imperative and 2) less convenient to process and generate. For example, you can no longer use unquote-splicing, which is unfortunate. Furthermore, if you have a list of objects that you want to serialize, you now need to do the extra step of calling list->vector. Lists are the more natural data structure in Scheme for sequences, so Mark and I thought it was best to stick with them rather than use vectors even though vectors are more array-like. Hope this helps, - Dave
