The use of @ inheritdoc causes some unexpected changes in the javadoc, dropping 
the skip method from several classes.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/StringReader.java line 108:

Using inheritDoc for the exceptions adds several new and irrelevant impossible 
causes to the javadoc.
" This method will block until some characters are available", etc.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/PushbackReader.java line 257:

> 256:     /**
> 257:      * {@inheritDoc}

This appears to make the skip method disappear from the PushbackReader javadoc
and only show up as a method declared in FilterReader.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/LineNumberReader.java line 270:

> 268: 
> 269:     /**
> 270:      * {@inheritDoc}

This appears to make the skip method disappear from the LineNumberReader javadoc
and only show up as a method declared in Reader.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/CharArrayReader.java line 149:

> 149:      * {@inheritDoc}

Using inheritDoc for the exceptions adds several new and irrelevant impossible 
causes to the javadoc.
" This method will block until some characters are available", etc.
It also drops the existing "If the stream is closed" condition on @ throws 
IOException.

src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/BufferedReader.java line 400:

> 398: 
> 399:     /**
> 400:      * {@inheritDoc}

This appears to make the skip method disappear from the BufferedReader javadoc
and only show up as a method declared in Reader.
