- More consistent support for dtype metadata
- Support for writing a dtype in Python
- New string dtype(s):
- Fixed width encoded strings (utf8, latin1, ...)
- Encoded strings with fixed-width storage (utf8, latin1, ...)
- Variable length strings (could share implementation with dtype=object, but are explicitly type-checked)
