Available from Saxon 10.
Details
This function returns a contiguous subsequence of the input sequence, starting with the item immediately after the first one
that matches the $predicate condition, and ending at the end of the input sequence.
If no item in the input sequence matches the $predicate condition, or if the first item to match is the
last item in the input, then the result is an empty sequence.
Example: saxon:items-after(1 to 20, function($x){$x mod 10 = 0})
returns the sequence 11 to 20.
In XSLT, calls on saxon:items-after are streamable provided that the function supplied as the
predicate is either (a) a reference to a user-declared stylesheet function declared with streamability="inspection",
or (b) an inline function whose body is grounded and motionless. More specifically, if the predicate function
satisfies these conditions then the posture and sweep of the function call are the same as the posture and sweep of
the first argument.
