# drop

Drop the first `n` values from a RefArray.

## Signatures

```ts
export declare const drop: {
    (n: number): <A, E, R>(ref: RefArray<A, E, R>) => Effect.Effect<ReadonlyArray<A>, E, R>;
    <A, E, R>(ref: RefArray<A, E, R>, n: number): Effect.Effect<ReadonlyArray<A>, E, R>;
};
```

## Why

Applies drop to the committed array value and publishes only the result, preserving its element
order and equality rules.

## Ownership and lifetime

Running drop performs one serialized array transition and resolves with its committed value. It
acquires no resource; failures and services remain those of the source ref.
