STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
Computes by inference the result of dropping the initial n elements of a list.
DESCRIPTION
For any object language list of the form “[x0;...x(n-k);...;x(n-1)]” , the result of evaluating
   BUTFIRSTN_CONV “BUTFIRSTN k [x0;...x(n-k);...;x(n-1)]”
is the theorem
   |- BUTFIRSTN k [x0;...;x(n-k);...;x(n-1)] = [x(n-k);...;x(n-1)]

FAILURE
BUTFIRSTN_CONV tm fails if tm is not of the form described above, or k is greater than the length of the list.
