I'm not sure we want to do this. The specific getters / setters are really
only so that we can avoid boxing primitives. We added getString mostly
because at one point we were considering having some kind of internal mutable
backing data structure here for performance (and we still might).
What do you think about something like `def getAs[T](i: Int): T =
apply(i).asInstanceOf[T]` in `Row`?
