> In theory, if the skipper can tell us how many positions it has skipped that would work. This will require storing more information in the skip data than the current scheme. OK, and it seems like that would not be a good tradeoff? Every skip entry would need to record how many total positions were skipped, whereas the `lastPosBlockOffset` is just a single long for the entire postings lists?
