# RefChunk.drop

Drop the first `n` values from a RefChunk.

## Signatures

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

## Why

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

## Ownership and lifetime

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