**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** I am writing some code that appends multiple of the same value to the `FixedSizeDictinoaryBuilder` **Describe the solution you'd like** In `GenericByteDictionaryBuilder`, we have a helpful method called `append_n`, which can save us multiple key lookups: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/blob/0737c61e76057b127312dd8058887649ece702b8/arrow-array/src/builder/generic_bytes_dictionary_builder.rs#L304-L316 I would like it if the `FixedSizeDictinoaryBuilder` had a similar method. **Describe alternatives you've considered** ```rs for _ in 0..count { builder.append_slice(val)?; } ``` **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
