+    //! 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(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`.
+    //!
+    //! In case `length(xs) <= n`, `drop_front` will simply drop the whole
+    //! iterable without failing, thus returning an empty iterable. This is
+    //! different from `drop_front_exactly`, which expects `n <= length(xs)`
+    //! but can be better optimized because of this additional guarantee.
+    //!
+    //!
+    //! @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. If `n` is not given, it defaults to
+    //! an `IntegralConstant` with a value equal to `1`.
+    //!
