P.S. I'd say `getAs` should (kinda) work in Java too:
```java
String s = row.getAs(1);
```
Anyway, one advantage of having dozen of methods for primitive types is to
avoid boxing. In scala, `@specialize` annotation might do, but clearly in Java
one needs something like in this PR.
so looks :ok: to me.
