Add --raw
switch to print
for binary data (#13597)
# Description Something I meant to add a long time ago. We currently don't have a convenient way to print raw binary data intentionally. You can pipe it through `cat` to turn it into an unknown stream, or write it to a file and read it again, but we can't really just e.g. generate msgpack and write it to stdout without this. For example: ```nushell [abc def] | to msgpack | print --raw ``` This is useful for nushell scripts that will be piped into something else. It also means that `nu_plugin_nu_example` probably doesn't need to do this anymore, but I haven't adjusted it yet: ```nushell def tell_nushell_encoding [] { print -n "\u{0004}json" } ``` This happens to work because 0x04 is a valid UTF-8 character, but it wouldn't be possible if it were something above 0x80. `--raw` also formats other things without `table`, I figured the two things kind of go together. The output is kind of like `to text`. Debatable whether that should share the same flag, but it was easier that way and seemed reasonable. # User-Facing Changes - `print` new flag: `--raw` # Tests + Formatting Added tests. # After Submitting - [ ] release notes (command modified)
