skip, limit and slice

[Brian Goetz]

Correct.  If you look at the implementation:

     @Override
     public Stream<U> limit(long limit) {
         return pipeline(new SliceOp<U>(0, limit));
     }

     @Override
     public Stream<U> skip(long toSkip) {
         return pipeline(new SliceOp<U>(toSkip));
     }

     @Override
     public Stream<U> slice(long skip, long limit) {
         return pipeline(new SliceOp<U>(skip, limit));
     }

they are strictly for convenience.
