### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
When using `tableFromArrays()`, I'm seeing the error "Unable to infer Vector
type from input values, explicit type declaration expected." for the following
code:
```js
const data = {
word: [["a"], ["b"]],
}
const table = tableFromArrays(data)
```
For some reason, `tableFromArrays()` infers the type of each string as a
dictionary. Then it compares the IDs of the two dictionaries which are not the
same:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/js/src/visitor/typecomparator.ts#L199.
A more complex example that also produces the error:
```js
const data = {
customers: [{names: ["joe"]}, {names: ["bob"]}],
}
const table = tableFromArrays(data)
```
I would prefer not having the type inferred at all and instead explicitly
passing a schema or field type as an argument, but I can't seem to find any
documentation on how to do that.
