You contributed

#12:14 < Thunder> @pl \s -> drop (length s - n) s
#12:14 < lambdabot> drop =<< subtract n . length

But, on second thought, 1) I can't use this as a drop-in replacement
for the non points free (right term?) version, and 2) I don't really
understand it.

Still, I would be curious to see if there is a way to make this useful somehow.
