Thanks for the review!

No, I haven't done any testing at all (yet.)
I'm not sure what can be tested here - is it performance improvement of 
GC in the case of lots of calls to the skip function?

What kind of testing would you suggest?

I relied mostly on two things - assumption that one allocation is better 
than several and the fact that the other input streams use the same 
approach with reused temporary buffer.
