Research direction

Start by reading the repository README and the linked Hackage documentation. Identify the missing getting-started usage instructions and tutorials, then define a path that no longer sends newcomers between the README and Hackage without guidance. Done means a newcomer can understand how to begin using vector from the project documentation.
