Using the datadict sounds good. I could imagine taking much more
advantage of it for scripting languages in general: create a single
NdbRecAttr::value() as well which returns the correct target language
type for the underlying database type (including making strings out of
aRef() and get_size_in_bytes()).

I would like to pass in the length instead of strlen. This will make it
possible to use with binary data which may include nulls. Most of the
target languages already keep the length. I don't know if there's a nice
way to split the string into data and length in SWIG or whether you need
a small language-specific wrapper for that bit.

I second keeping the raw interface available.
