fread option to skip certain rows or rows with reading errors

[spedygiorgio]

Hi, thanks for your great package. Is it possible to add options to fread either to skip certain data rows or to skip rows with decoding error (as in Python pandas read_csv).

Do you mean this option:

    error_bad_lines : boolean, default True
        Lines with too many fields (e.g. a csv line with too many commas) will by
        default cause an exception to be raised, and no DataFrame will be returned.
        If False, then these "bad lines" will dropped from the DataFrame that is
        returned.

or some other? Please elaborate on what do you mean by "decoding error".
