Great work, thanks!

I see this:


 “- Fixed width encoded strings (utf8, latin1, ...)”

And a bit of discussion in the PR.

But I think there are key questions to be addressed in handling strings in
numpy. I know we’ve had a lot of discussion about it on this list over the
years — but is there a place that has captured that discussion / and or we
can start a new one?

For example, I am very wary of putting a non-fixed width encoding (e.g.
Utf-8) in a fixed width field.

But this PR is not the place to discuss that.

Hi everyone,

Please take a look at the latest roadmap proposal:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/11611

This is a living document, so can easily be modified in the future, but
we'd like to get in place a document that corresponds fairly closely
with current community priorities.

Best regards,
Stéfan
