I wasn't aware that you could generally use subscripts on ranges such as

range[range.length - n .. range.length]

But I guess that it would make sense for random access ranges to have that, and if you have to have a random access range to efficiently implement takeBack()/takeTail() anyway, then you already have what you need. In that case, the one argument that I'd make for takeTail() would be that it might be better for generic code (it's also a bit cleaner to say takeTail(range, n)), but if you're restricted to random access ranges for such code anyway, then it probably doesn't really gain you anything since you can't really genericize something that has to be specific.
