6516099: InputStream.skipFully(int k) to skip exactly k bytes

[Brian Burkhalter]

Hi Brent,

That is exactly why version .00 of the patch implemented skipNBytes() in a fixed way in terms of read(). I think that there is a good compromise however and I shall update the patch accordingly.

Thanks,

Brian
