Dictionary encoding of strings in string tags

Currently, the values of string tags are stored in full for each event, which is a waste of space for string tags that have the same values appearing frequently. To save space, please use dictionary encoding (AKA dictionary coding or dictionary compression) to store the values of string tags. The space saved for string tags that have many repeated values should hopefully offset the extra space used for string tags that have mostly unique values.
