_take

Produces the first N values from the received context. -- Function
Anything -> _take (howMany) -> The same Type
Receives
A List of anything
howMany
The number of elements to take from the beginning of the List
Produces
The first howMany elements, if the received List had that many, or the full received List if not.
Sometimes you want just the first few elements of a List. _take does that -- think of it as taking the beginning of the List, and leaving the rest behind.
Note that _first is basically the same as _take(1).
