When a value greater than `Integer.MAX_VALUE` is passed to this `InflaterInputStream.skip()` method, the current implementation in that method only skips at most `Integer.MAX_VALUE` bytes. `DeflaterInputStream.skip()` too has the same behaviour. However, in the case of `DeflaterInputStream.skip()`, this semantic is clearly noted in that method's API documentation. `InflaterInputStream.skip()` currently doesn't specify this behaviour.
