>From what they do, they actually neither decode nor skip an
array/map. They decode array/map header only. I know that msgpuck
uses this naming, but it is actually confusing. Why not just
encode array/map header, but skip array/map  data in these functions and
and call them msgpack.skip_array(), msgpack.skip_map()
respectively?

This doesn't actually skip array members, does it.
