Description
Cord has CopyCordToString(). Could there be a helper function to copy to a char* buffer? For example,
```
// Copies the data in the cord from |offset| up to buffer |size|. Returns the actual number of bytes copied.
// Returns 0 if offset is out of bound.
size_t CopyToArray(char* buffer, size_t size, size_t offset = 0);
```
Alternatives considered: use cord.Subcord(offset, size) and iterate chunks, but Subcord() seems to have the overhead of creating new cord reps.
