Imo, the preferred solution here would be: 1. keep `.dictionary_encode` as an identity function (LSP!) 2. add the no-op C++ kernel 3. Enable conversion to dictionary via `cast` (why is there a separate `dictionary_encode` function to begin with?) - but this is a separate issue. Functions like `dictionary_encode` should be idempotent. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
