Review Comment:
   I was actually looking at the implementation of the other dictionary 
comparison kernels and they opt to instead evaluate the predicate against the 
dictionary, and then call `unpack_dict_comparison` to translate this to the 
values as a whole. Might be something to explore, I could see it being very 
beneficial for DictionaryArray with lots of repeated values
