/** 
 * So, if I want to create a new Vector.<int> that 
 * appends 3, 2, 1 without modifying the original, 
 * I need to create *another* new Vector.<int>, just 
 * to pass the values to concat(). That's one extra
 * Vector.<int> instantiation. Three total Vector.<int> 
 * objects, while only 2 should be needed:
 *   -- One, the original vec:Vector.<int>.
 *   -- Two, the new <int>[ 3, 2, 1 ] to pass the concat() 
 *      parameter.
