> This should serve as an umbrella issue for the needed functionality to have an Apache Arrow backed string type in {{pandas}}. In addition to the string kernels (ARROW-555), we probably need to implement some more support functionality to efficiently the {{pandas}} interfaces.
> Some of these functions are already present in {{fletcher}} but a native string type in {{pandas}} should not have a hard dependency on {{numba}}.
