 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__rest__(<text>) \\
 +$__rest__(<num> <text>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * If the <num> argument is not provided, 1 is the default value.
 +   * The return value is <text> with the first <num>th characters removed.
 +   * If you think that the first word in <text> may be a number, better to be safe than sorry; specify an explicit "1" for <num>.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This can be used to remove the initial character of a string, or to remove
 +multiple initial characters from a string.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +<text> with the first <num> characters removed.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$rest(4 foobarfnord)  returns "arfnord"
 +$rest(foobarfnord)    returns "oobarfnord"
 +$rest(1 5 testing)    returns " testing"
 +</file>
