In principle, there is no reason for vector functions to work on a
defstruct.  We can declare that usage obsolete, while keeping it
functioning.  In 3 years we can make it generate an error which
is easy to turn off, to nudge people to change the code.

On the other hand, it is wasteful to create myriad 'copy-FOO'
functions that all do the same thing.  We may as well have 
one function 'copy-struct' function that copies all kinds of sequences.
