Vector is a geometric object with length and direction, in context of graphics and original raylib.
Vector is also a dynamic array, in context of Ada's Ada.Containers.Vectors.

There are a few ways to prevent confusion between the two:

1. Don't use dynamic arrays. Instead, opt for access types and manage memory with controlled objects.
2. Use subtypes and renames to name them "Arrays" instead of vectors
3. Don't use vectors at all. There are for example Sets and Maps, although with different semantics, they can be used too

This is definitely an issue that needs to be solved, as for example having a Vector2_Vectors.Vector would be extremely confusing.
