<p><em>Complete version</em>: It will return <code>Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new(_, ErrorKind::Slice)))</code> if the input is shorter than the argument.</p>
<p><em>[Partial version][crate::_topic::partial]</em>: if the input has less than N elements, <code>take</code> will
return a <code>ErrMode::Incomplete(Needed::new(M))</code> where M is the number of
additional bytes the parser would need to succeed.
It is well defined for <code>&[u8]</code> as the number of elements is the byte size,
but for types like <code>&str</code>, we cannot know how many bytes correspond for
the next few chars, so the result will be <code>ErrMode::Incomplete(Needed::Unknown)</code></p>
<p>Assuming you are parsing a <code>&str</code><ahref="../stream/trait.Stream.html"title="trait winnow::stream::Stream">Stream</a> with <code>0..</code> or <code>1..</code> ranges:</p>
