Hi Nathan,
thank you for your great work on UTF8 strings and their integration in Numpy.
This is a very important dtype to support, especially with the widespread use
of large language models (LLM) nowadays.

If you are interested in testing the new dtype but haven't had the chance
yet, hopefully this should be easier to test. From a clone of the NumPy
repo, doing:
$ git fetch https://github.com/ngoldba
The next NumPy Optimization Team meeting will be held on Monday, December
