Along the same lines, if subclasses would typically benefit from
overriding both skip() and skipNBytes(), how about we call out
skipNBytes() in the skip() docs? Either add a @see, or maybe append:
"Subclasses are encouraged to provide a more efficient implementation of
this method" + " (as well as {@linkplain #skipNBytes()} )".
And do the same for skipNBytes().

Wouldn't it be better to throw an IOException in this case,
thus forcing subclasses that behave in this way to override
skipFully as well?
