Original description

I'd like to add a parameter to these functions (or some other method) that tells them not to skip ahead in the stream data to find the next number. Ideally, there should be three options: don't skip anything, only skip whitespace, and skip anything. Maybe SKIP_NONE, SKIP_ALL, SKIP_NONE.

This would be a very good feature. Any progress?

An implementation for this has been proposed in #3337
