xf overload for vec and set

Question

Having (vec xf coll) and (set xf coll) overloads seem useful as opposed to writing (into (link: ) ...).

One might also consider these as variadic overloads, like the sequence function has. I am unsure about that since into doesn't have one and I know too little about multiple input transducers.

After two more years with Clojure I don't see this as improvement anymore. (into (link: ) ...) provides more expressiveness. Unless other parties are interest, I'd recommend to close this.

We still lack functionality to use the variadic map transducer with sets, but I have never needed it, so I wouldn't open a ticket for that myself.

Looks like duplicate of CLJ-1896
