Review Comment:
This would entail generating code that is generic over both the dictionary
and all the primitive values, which is precisely what we are trying to avoid
doing. This categorically should not be the pattern.
Instead users should write a function with a kernel like
```
fn my_amazing_kernel(a: &dyn Array) -> Result<ArrayRef> {
if let Some(a) = as_any_dictionary_array(a) {
let values = my_amazing_kernel(a.values())?;
Ok(a.with_values(values))
}
downcast_primitive_array! {
a => ...
}
}
```
