Summary:
Work on the containers revealed that 1b8746d21 was premature, and this
diff is in part a revert of that. The objectives for the global
namespace are:
- self-consistent as much as possible
- rich data type operations
- does not require maintaining lots of tedious library wrapping code
- has Marshalable containers
- has containers with functorial interfaces
For these aims, it's best to stick with Core. Base isn't enough to
define functorial interfaces for collections (without a lot of tedious
wrapping code to keep in sync manually), and since a few modules not
in Core_kernel are needed anyhow.

Summary:
The term "vector" evokes expectations of being automatically growable,
and these are just immutable arrays.

Summary:
The base containers have inconvenient interfaces due to lacking
support for functors, which also leads to the representation of values
of containers including closures for the comparison functions. This
causes problems when `Marshal`ing these values.
This diff is one step toward not using the base containers.
