I thought something like:

```python
# implement something like
# strs = nc.createVariable('strs', str, ('strs_dim',))
objs = nc.createVariable('objs', object, ('objs_dim',))
```

But I see that the `str` datatype is a netCDF spec type.

This could be hooked into xarray's existing coding/decoding layer in a relatively straightforward fashion: see [`ensure_dtype_not_object`](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/d5c7e0612e8243c0a716460da0b74315f719f2df/xarray/conventions.py#L684) for where this is caught in the current code. (We would also need something at a lower level in the netCDF4 specific reader/writer to handle `uint8` VLType.)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,230158616
