+/**
+ * A wrapper that overwrites {@link #skip} and delegates to {@link #read} instead.
+ *
+ * <p>Some implementations of {@link InputStream} implement {@link
+ * InputStream#skip} in a way that throws an exception if the stream
+ * is not seekable - {@link System#in System.in} is known to behave
+ * that way. For such a stream it is impossible to invoke skip at all
+ * and you have to read from the stream (and discard the data read)
+ * instead. Skipping is potentially much faster than reading so we do
+ * want to invoke {@code skip} when possible. We provide this class so
+ * you can wrap your own {@link InputStream} in it if you encounter
+ * problems with {@code skip} throwing an excpetion.</p>
