cass_value_get_string returns not null terminated strings should be documented. Spent quite a bit of time on this one.

A C++ API should not call it a string if it is not null terminated.

Sorry you ran into that issue. You're right that should be documented. I'll create an issue to follow up on.

Note: The reason they're not null-terminated is to avoid copying strings into another buffer.
