-------------------------------------------------------------
{{drop}} and {{dropRight}} always return a copy/clone. To mimic them exactly
we'd do a cloneSimilarCharSequence or createSimilarCharSequence but I think
that might be overkill here. A string should be fine, so something like
{{original.toString()}} should be sufficient for the num=0 case.

> Groovy enables developers to treat {{CharSequence}}s as if they were true
> sequences. For example, you can use a for loop and the array index operator.
> Some extension methods are missing though. One I was hoping to find was the
> {{count(Closure)}} method. I think it makes sense to incorporate any
> {{Iterable}} extension methods into {{CharSequence}} as well.
