We need a category function that can partition string based categories lexicographically. This ticket is similar to the IntegerCategoryFunction that was introduced as part of #149, except instead of basing the narrowing on integers, it would narrow down on strings. It is probably a good idea to let the following tickets land so that the necessary infrastructure is in place:

* #158 - so that the test framework is less verbose
* #151 - so that the default bound exists with which you can start narrowing
* #152 - so that we can retrieve the default bound on a per-endpoint basis
* #153 - to put the auto-narrowing infrastructure is in place
