 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__restw__(<count> <word list>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * If the <count> argument is omitted the empty string is returned.
 +   * This function returns the complement of $[[leftw]](); that is,
 +   * This function returns <word list> with the first <count> words removed.
 +   * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This function is mostly useful when you know you want to always remove
 +the first few words from an input string, regardless of what they are,
 +and when there are a varying number of total arguments.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +input list with given number of leading words removed
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$restw(2 hello there how are you?)       returns "how are you?"
 +$restw(-1 hello there how are you?)      returns nothing
 +$restw(6 hello there how are you?)       returns nothing
 +</file>
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in "+2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
