0.9 is (mostly) in feature freeze, so I won't add anything like that at
least for now. You can easily do it by yourself though:

  struct cstring_with_length
  {
      cstring_with_length(char const* s, std::size_t len)
        : s(s)
        , len(len)
      {}

      char const* s;
      std::size_t len;
  };

  namespace luabind
  {

    template <>
    struct default_converter<cstring_with_length>
      : native_converter_base<cstring_with_length>
    {
        void to(lua_State* L, cstring_with_length const& str)
        {
            lua_pushlstring(L, str.s, str.len);
        }
    };

  } // namespace luabind
