Using OutBuffer makes it easy to forget to zero-terminate strings and create
dangling pointers. I'm think we should make OutBuffer a little less error
prone.
Changes:
- Get rid of toChars
- Add extractString which checks for a '\0' then takes ownership of the
internal buffer
- Add scopedString which checks for a '\0' then return a reference to the
internal buffer
- Add scopedData which returns a reference to the internal buffer
Benefit:
- Nobody will use toChars thinking that it copies/owns the data
- Harder to forget to zero-terminate strings
- Hopefully less casting
