   Oh hmm, it is not on purpose, I think it was just copy pasted from the `const char*` implementation above. We should use `mkCharLenCE` for `std::string()` since we know the length.
   
   That being said having an embedded `NULL` in any `CHARSXP` is not really going to work in R. Lots of places in the R codebase assumes strings are null terminated. I think the only way you can handle string data with embedded nulls in R is with raw vectors.
   
   Which erroring maybe is the intent here, so perhaps switching this to `mkCharLenCE` will do what we want.
