  • Add skip.Writer, skip.NewWriter, and skip.NewWriterPipe.
  • Add helper functions skip.String, skip.StringWithPrefix, skip.Bytes, and skip.BytesWithPrefix.
  • Add README section for both the truncate and skip packages.

Similar to the truncate package's "tail" parameter, the skip package supports a prefix parameter which can be used to provide a visual indication of horizontal scrolling.

The skip package is a crucial building block for supporting horizontal scrolling of a viewport, as well as UI compositing e.g. to overlay a modal dialog over the TUI behind it.

I have a working prototype for TUI compositing using this package, and hope to contribute it to charmbracelet/lipgloss once I've cleaned it up some.

* Add skip.Writer, skip.NewWriter, and skip.NewWriterPipe.
* Add helper functions skip.String, skip.StringWithPrefix,
  skip.Bytes, and skip.BytesWithPrefix.
* Add README section for both the truncate and skip packages.

I wish I had checked open PRs before putting my own version of this together for exactly the same reason last night!

@muesli Hi Christian! Would you mind reviewing this when you have a moment? I've tried to match this PR closely to the coding styles in Reflow's other packages, so hopefully it will be a straightforward review. Cheers!
