Rename the current "stop" to "skip" and implement the new behaviour in a
new "stop" method. Calling "skip" after "stop" should jump from the
stopped state to where "skip" would have gone to in the first place.

There could be a "resume" (or "unstop") method that just continues from 
the current value to the planned target at the same speed as it was going 
before the "stop".
