;; although negative (or zero) drop-item-counts are accepted they do nothing (drop -1 [1 2 3 4]) ;;=> (1 2 3 4) (drop 0 [1 2 3 4]) ;;=> (1 2 3 4) (drop 2 [1 2 3 4]) ;;=> (3 4) ;; dropping more items than are present is allowed, and all items are dropped. (drop 5 [1 2 3 4]) ;;=> ()

;; similar to subvec but lazy and with seqs (take 3 (drop 5 (range 1 11))) ;;=> (6 7 8)
