Description
This needs more thought/discussion, but I wanted to make a note before I forget. If possible it would be helpful if we could introduce a function that would allow WFDB data to be easily outputted to the CCDEF/HDF5 Critical Care Data Format.
The general suggestion is that we could load a record using the WFDB package and then output to CCDEF with a to_ccdef() method.
The function would be useful for the CHoRUS project (https://chorus4ai.org/) which requires data in both WFDB and CCDEF formats. For more information on the CCDEF format, see: https://ccdef.org/.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the WFDB package's record-loading entry points and the CCDEF specification at ccdef.org, with the CHoRUS project's need for both formats in mind. Define the scope and expected behavior of a to_ccdef() conversion before implementation; done means WFDB data can be output in a valid CCDEF/HDF5 format.
