Hi, it's incompatible change little bit.

Before

Vector[1,2,3][0..1]
=> [1, 2]

After

Vector[1,2,3][0..1]
=> Vector[1, 2]

I'm not in a hurry. Take your time.

I feel the idea is similar to #10445 (although not as dubious)

I'm curious as to when one would want to do this and actually get a Vector.

Thank for reply.

OK, I got your point. Actually I'm not sure anyone want to do this.

But I think there is no reason Vector[1,2,3][0..1] returns not Vector but Array.

thanks.

I agree completely, and don't I think it was intended. The doc states "Returns element number +i+" too.

OK, it does make sense. Thank you for your time.
