When calling `.skip` on a list which contains a `Slip` at the start, the
resulting `Seq` behaves in some cases as if *all* elements from that
`Slip` were skipped (instead of just the first one):
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.perl; # ("d", "e").Seq
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.eager.perl; # ("d", "e").Seq
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.eager.gist; # (d e)
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.eager.join; # de
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.cache.perl; # ("d", "e")
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.cache.join; # de
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.[*].gist; # (d e)
But it depends on how the returned `Seq` is iterated. In the following
cases it behaves correctly:
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.gist; # (b c d e)
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.join; # bcde
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.cache.gist; # (b c d e)
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.[0..*].gist; # (b c d e)
say (<a b c>, <d e>).map(|*).skip.iterator.pull-one; # b
It looks like¹ this bug has existed ever since the `.skip` method was
implemented² in January 2017.
