is a String. Notice that the macros take only the lvalue as their
argument, to change the value of var in place.
+You can also use the macro named StringValueCStr(). This is just
+like StringValuePtr(), but always add nul character at the end of
+the result. If the result contains nul character, this macro causes
+the ArgumentError exception.
+StringValuePtr() doesn't gurantee to exist nul at the end of the
+result, and the result may contain nul.

but now it is deprecated in version 1.7, because STR2CSTR() has a risk
of a dangling pointer problem in the to_str() implicit conversion.
