In python, you might do something like

i = (0, 3, 2)
x = [x+1 for x in range(0,5)]
operator.itemgetter(*i)(x)

to get (1, 4, 3). In (emacs) lisp, I wrote this function called extract which does something similar,

(defun extract (elems seq)
  (mapcar (lambda (x) (nth x seq)) elems))

(extract '(0 3 2) (number-sequence 1 5))

but I feel like there should be something built in? All I know is first, last, rest, nth, car, cdr... What's the way to go? ~ Thanks in advance ~
