Proposal: new extension called scrub which adds a function Scrub() to messages.

Similar to Reset(), except it recursively overwrites all buffers & fields in the message with zeros.

Can you elaborate on why would you find this useful? I'm not opposed to it in principle, but I can't think of an use case off the top of my head!

If the Protobuf messages contain something sensitive you want to clear just after processing so that the value isn't left in the heap
