No.  The most likely reason it was not included was because (at the
time) there was no code using it and no tests.

Its not hard to add - but any code using it will be incompatible with
jruby 1.5 and below, so people are going to have to declare the return
type as :pointer and extract the string anyway to be backwards
compatible.
