 vctrs obeys a stricter set of recycling rules than base R. Vectors of size 1 are recycled to any other size. All other size combinations will generate an error. This strictness prevents common mistakes like `dest == c("IAH", "HOU"))`, at the cost of occasionally requiring an explicit calls to `rep()`.
