[IDEA] Need a method to get the contents of the Ring and clear it.

[jvilhuber]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In my use case, I want to capture the logs in a circular buffer (reasonably small?) so that if something bad happens, I can get the contents (last few minutes, but it depends on the size of the buffer) and send them to a log-server.

Describe the solution you'd like

The WriteTo method waits forever, and never really exits (unless the Writer is closed). Instead, I'd want some method that writes (and "erases"?) the contents to a Writer, and then exits.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I considered (and rejected) a timer after which time I close the Writer, but time is not well defined here.
