Brad Fitzpatrick ee2ecc4552 bufio: add Reader.Discard ... Reader.Discard is the complement to Peek. It discards the next n bytes of input. We already have Reader.Buffered to see how many bytes of data are sitting available in memory, and Reader.Peek to get that that buffer directly. But once you're done with the Peek'd data, you can't get rid of it, other than Reading it. Both Read and io.CopyN(ioutil.Discard, bufReader, N) are relatively slow. People instead resort to multiple blind ReadByte calls, just to advance the internal b.r variable. I've wanted this previously, several people have asked for it in the past on golang-nuts/dev, and somebody just asked me for it again in a private email. There are a few places in the standard library we'd use it too.
