[phobos] advance() for infinite random access ranges?

I've thought some more about how to support slicing in the case of
take(someInfiniteRange, someNumber) and I think it would be a good idea
to require infinite random-access ranges to support an advance()
function. This would basically be like slicing, but only change the
beginning of the range, not the end (since there is no end of an
infinite range). Calling infiniteRange.advance(N) would be equivalent
to calling infiniteRange.popFront() N times, except that advance() would
have O(1) time complexity. Sound good? Any alternative suggestions?
