    //! Drop the first `n` elements of an iterable, and return the rest.
    //! @ingroup group-Iterable
    //!
    //! Given an `Iterable` `xs` with a linearization of `[x1, x2, ...]` and
    //! a non-negative `IntegralConstant` `n`, `drop_front_exactly(xs, n)` is
    //! an iterable with the same tag as `xs` whose linearization is
    //! `[xn+1, xn+2, ...]`. In particular, note that this function does not
    //! mutate the original iterable in any way. If `n` is not given, it
    //! defaults to an `IntegralConstant` with a value equal to `1`.
    //!
    //! It is an error to use `drop_front_exactly` with `n > length(xs)`. This
    //! additional guarantee allows `drop_front_exactly` to be better optimized
    //! than the `drop_front` function, which allows `n > length(xs)`.
    //!
    //!
    //! @param xs
    //! The iterable from which elements are dropped.
    //!
    //! @param n
    //! A non-negative `IntegralConstant` representing the number of elements
    //! to be dropped from the iterable. In addition to being non-negative,
    //! `n` must be less than or equal to the number of elements in `xs`.
    //! If `n` is not given, it defaults to an `IntegralConstant` with a value
    //! equal to `1`.
    //!
