 * ''first'': selects the first tiddler of the list (or the first n if the operand is n)
 * ''last'': selects the last tiddler of the list (or the last n if the operand is n)
 * ''rest'': selects all but the first tiddler of the list (or all but the first n if the operand is n)

 An operator can be negated with by preceding it with `!`, for example `[!tag[Tommy]]` selects the tiddlers that are not tagged with `Tommy`.
