parser: Add cell path literal syntax (#8493)
# Description This adds a new cell path literal syntax for use in any value position, not just in a context where we expect a cell path. This can be used to assign to a variable and then later use that variable as a cell path. Example: ``` > let cell_path = $.a.b > {a: {b: 3}} | get $cell_path 3 ``` # User-Facing Changes This adds the syntax `$.a.b` to universally mean the cell path `a.b`, even in a context that doesn't expect a cell path. # Tests + Formatting Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes. Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands: - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes) - `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code style - `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass > **Note** > from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows > ```bash > use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it automatically > toolkit check pr > ``` # After Submitting If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
