The drop function has been added

https://github.com/D-Programming-
Language/phobos/commit/6b6c604bbeb66ca1811a3a02b4f807d27621580f

You can get the islice functionality by combining take with drop. e.g.

take(drop(range, 5), 3);

Personally, I'm not all that thrilled with idea of adding a function such as
islice, since it's not efficient the way that slices normally are, and I'm
afraid that it would give the impression that it is - that and the fact that
you end up with a new type unless the range actually _is_ sliceable. If you
still want such a function though, please create a new enhancement request for
it.
