### Rationale for this change Converting a `character()` with explicit type `dictionary()` currently fails and dictionary-encoding is a common optimization ### What changes are included in this PR? "Just pop a `as.factor()` in there", except harder because the conversion code is highly templated C++. ### Are these changes tested? Covered by existsing tests. ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes, a new conversion pathway is exposed (although requires explicit user intervention to invoke the new feature). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
