In Clojure you rarely have to worry about types. All the
data-structures fall under a common set of abstractions and in
particular the ISeq interface. Strictly speaking map returns a seq not
a list. In fact a lazy seq...this is by design so further operations
can be applied lazily later...if you use eager operations like mapv
exclusively you lose the ability to aggregate operations without cost.
hope that clarifies it...
