I very well understand that a vector is an element of a vector space, thanks, but it still seems obvious where the name came from. Sure, they could have used array, but either way I don't think the name of that class should cause substantial confusion as in general you shouldn't need to put a variable's type in its name to make your code understandable..at best that's just a longer version of hungarian notation which is hardly universal.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
