To echo Ralf comments, thank you for this very well-written proposal! I
particularly appreciate the detailed consideration of how to handle
different models of missing values.

Overall, I am very excited about this work. A UTF8 dtype in NumPy is long
overdue, and will bring significant benefits to the entire scientific
Python ecosystem.
