FOR with filters, like slice, would be oh so nice

Description

This would be handy to be able to do:

    {% for item in item_list|slice:"1:" %}
        ...
    {% endfor %}

I think it would require the for template tag to be pre-processed through whatever filter prior to iteration, correct?

The use case I was just working against was that I wanted to treat the first item in the list differently without having for loop logic. For example, something along these lines:

    <h3>{{ item_list.0.title }}</h3>
    <p>{{ item_list.0.body }}</p>
    <h4>Other items</h4>
    <ul>
    {% for item in item_list|slice:"1:" %}
        <li>{{ item.title }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>

I realize maybe the example might be contrived, but for those filters that return a list (slice, make_list, others?) it also seems like a valid use that could come in handy.

Doesn't it already do this? Does for me anyway.

This appears to work for me if I wrap the queryset with a list() call. If I don't, the slice does nothing.
