for loop - C++11: Range-looping vector from the second element?

Question

I have a std::vector<std::string> v; (initialized). How can I use the range-for loop for accessing all elements except the first one (on index zero). For all elements:

for (const string & s: v)
    process(s);

Instead of the v a range expression can be used. How can I write the range expression to skip the first element (or skip the first n elements)?

I know how to get the effect using v.begin() + 1 and using the classic loop. I am searching for the new, more readable, recommended alternative to do that. Possibly something similar to Python slicing? ...like:

for s in v[1:]:
    process(s)

Until ranges make it into the standard library, you won't get any better than a vanilla for loop in plain C++ :

for(auto i = begin(v) + 1, e = end(v); i !=e; ++i)
    // Do something with *i
