String unpacking

Now that format and most of the other functions now return packed strings for efficiency reasons, unpacking them is also very easy to do so.
Let’s say your code looks like this:
#define function%0(%1) forward%0(%1); public%0(%1)
#include <string>
native format(output[], const format[], ...);
function OnFilterScriptInit() {
new str[1];
format(str, "%s", "Austinz"); // returns a packed string
printf("%s, length: %d\n", str, sizeof(str))
// output: Austinz, length: 1
new str2[7 + 1] // +1 for '/t'
strunpack(str2, str, sizeof(str2))
printf("%s, length: %d\n", str2, sizeof(str2))
// output: Austinz, length: 8
return 1;
}
