This is admittedly bikeshedding, for which I apologize, but I'd like to
mention the possibility of adding this to `seq' as an alternative to
adding it to `cl-lib'.
My two arguments for adding it to `seq' are:
- This function doesn't exist in Common Lisp, so `cl-lib' seems like
a somewhat arbitrary place for it, other than that its
implementation uses `cl-set-exclusive-or'.
- It could use seq.el's type dispatch
As a downside, (besides the fact that the patch adding it to `cl-lib' is
already available), `seq' doesn't have a direct equivalent to
`cl-set-exclusive-or', so adding it to `seq' is more work.
