Calling concat on vectors returns a list. Being a total noob I would expect that the result would also be a vector. Why the conversion to list?

Example:

user=> (concat [1 2] [3 4] [5 6])
(1 2 3 4 5 6)
; Why not: [1 2 3 4 5 6] ?

I'm attempting to use deftype (from the bleeding-edge clojure 1.2 branch) to create a java class that implements the java Servlet interface.
