/**
 * Creates a new instance of the [[skip]] node, which is a collection transform used to bypass a specified number of
 * elements in a collection and then returns the remaining elements.
 *

 * @example **Skip 3 items**
 * ```js
 * import muster, { applyTransforms, entries, query, ref, skip } from '@dws/muster';
 *
 * const app = muster({
 *   numbers: applyTransforms(
 *     [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
 *     [skip(3)],
 *  ),
 * });
 *
 * await app.resolve(query(ref('numbers'), entries())); // === [4, 5]
 * ```
 * This example shows how to skip 3 items from the collection.
 *
 * @example **Skip a number of items defined by a variable**
 * ```js
 * import muster, { applyTransforms, entries, query, ref, skip, variable  } from '@dws/muster';
 *
 * const app = muster({
 *   skipCount: variable(4),
 *   numbers: applyTransforms(
 *     [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
 *     [skip(ref('skipCount'))],
 *   ),
 * });
 *
 * await app.resolve(query(ref('numbers'), entries())); // === [5]
 * ```
 * This example shows that the `offset` can also be defined as a ref to another node in the graph. One thing to remember
 * is that the offset node must resolve to a [[value]] node containing a positive integer value. An error will be returned
 * when the condition is not met.
