      The convenience of the Value(const char* value) constructor doesn't seem to outweigh the potential risk (see SERVER-23356 and SERVER-25991) for erroneously attempting to construct a string literal with an embedded null byte.

      The Value(StringData value) and user-defined literal constructor for StringData from SERVER-24651 seem sufficient for syntactic convenience.
