There may be one or two arguments to the directives.
If there are two, the first is a bit mask of flags,
which can be written as numeric expressions, added or or-ed together,
or can be set symbolically for easier absorption by a human.

func discard(r io.Reader, n int64) error {
	// If possible, Seek to the last byte before the end of the data section.
	// Do this because Seek is often lazy about reporting errors; this will mask
	// the fact that the stream may be truncated. We can rely on the
	// io.CopyN done shortly afterwards to trigger any IO errors.
	var seekSkipped int64 // Number of bytes skipped via Seek

## For developers

Release notes should be added to `next` by editing existing files or creating
new files. **Do not add RELNOTE=yes comments in CLs.** Instead, add a file to
the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the
