   Two additional thoughts on InlineStrings:
   - We could add support for native serialization/deserialization of 
InlineStrings (but it wouldn't be readable in other languages / would look like 
Integers)
   - At the moment I find the smallest suitable type by searches the 
_whole_vector of offsets which is expensive (c. 1ms for 10M elements). We could 
try sampling only a subset, but we would have to introduce some safety checks 
if suddenly a bigger String shows up. I decided to pay the cost upfront and 
make sure no strings are larger.
