I was really just asking. But at least it seems that returning the same
type will save people from having to convert the list back to an array
if that's what they were after.

I don't like side-effects much myself, so I'm fine with that.

Good.

A dolist-style macro would also be welcome. If it could even avoid
calling a function at each iteration, it would be even better.

Why not? Just state that they need a (require 'seq) before you can use them.
