https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6516099
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/6516099/webrev.00/

This patch implements a method InputStream.skipNBytes() instead of skipFully() 
based on the supposition that this name is less likely to conflict with 
existing subclasses, e.g., [1]. There is some inconsistency however with 
respect to the description of the method readNBytes() [2], which may return 
fewer than N bytes if end of stream is reached first.

If we converge on a solution in this thread I’ll file a CSR.

Thanks,

Brian
