Research direction

Start at Zarr/create line 118, where the string datatype lookup fails, and trace the zarrcreate call at line 77. Determine how datatype mapping is handled for read and write paths, then verify that creating an array with Datatype 'string' no longer raises the reported error and that string data can be read and written.
