# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting

# Description
Judiciously try to avoid allocations/clone by changing the signature of
functions
- **Don't pass str by value unnecessarily if only read**
- **Don't require a vec in `Sandbox::with_files`**
- **Remove unnecessary string clone**
- **Fixup unnecessary borrow**
- **Use `&str` in shape color instead**
- **Vec -> Slice**
- **Elide string clone**
- **Elide `Path` clone**
- **Take &str to elide clone in tests**
# User-Facing Changes

This touches many tests purely in changing from owned to borrowed/static
data
# Description
`Value` describes the types of first-class values that users and scripts
can create, manipulate, pass around, and store. However, `Block`s are
not first-class values in the language, so this PR removes it from
`Value`. This removes some unnecessary code, and this change should be
invisible to the user except for the change to `scope modules` described
below.
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change: the output of `scope modules` was changed so that
`env_block` is now `has_env_block` which is a boolean value instead of a
`Block`.
# After Submitting
Update the language guide possibly.
- should fix https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11648
# Description
this PR
- adds a test that should pass but fails
- adds `$.extra_usage` to the output of `scope modules`, fixing both the
new test and the linked issue
# User-Facing Changes
`$.extra_usage` is now a column in the output of `scope modules`
# Tests + Formatting
a new test case has been added to `correct_scope_modules_fields`

# Description
* All output of `scope` commands is sorted by the "name" column. (`scope
externs` and some other commands had entries in a weird/random order)
* The output of `scope externs` does not have extra newlines (that was
due to wrong usage creation of known externals)

# Description
This splits off `scope` from `$nu`, creating a set of `scope` commands
for the various types of scope you might be interested in.
This also simplifies the `$nu` variable a bit.
# User-Facing Changes
This changes `$nu` to be a bit simpler and introduces a set of `scope`
subcommands.

# Description
This PR is just a minor development improvement. While working on
another feature, I noticed that the root crate lists the super useful
`pretty_assertions` in the root crate but doesn't use it in most tests.
With this change `pretty_assertions::assert_eq!` is used instead of
`core::assert_eq!` for better diffs when debugging the tests.
I thought of adding the dependency to other crates but I decided not to
since I didn't want a huge disruptive PR :)
# Description
This PR adds an alternative alias implementation. Old aliases still work
but you need to use `old-alias` instead of `alias`.
Instead of replacing spans in the original code and re-parsing, which
proved to be extremely error-prone and a constant source of panics, the
new implementation creates a new command that references the old
command. Consider the new alias defined as `alias ll = ls -l`. The
parser creates a new command called `ll` and remembers that it is
actually a `ls` command called with the `-l` flag. Then, when the parser
sees the `ll` command, it will translate it to `ls -l` and passes to it
any parameters that were passed to the call to `ll`. It works quite
similar to how known externals defined with `extern` are implemented.
The new alias implementation should work the same way as the old
aliases, including exporting from modules, referencing both known and
unknown externals. It seems to preserve custom completions and pipeline
metadata. It is quite robust in most cases but there are some rough
edges (see later).
Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7648,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8026,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7512,

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might
revisit the completions code after this PR)
Should use custom command instead:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6048
# User-Facing Changes
Since aliases are now basically commands, it has some new implications:
1. `alias spam = "spam"` (requires command call)
* **workaround**: use `alias spam = echo "spam"`
2. `def foo [] { 'foo' }; alias foo = ls -l` (foo defined more than
once)
* **workaround**: use different name (commands also have this
limitation)
4. `alias ls = (ls | sort-by type name -i)`
* **workaround**: Use custom command. _The common issue with this is
that it is currently not easy to pass flags through custom commands and
command referencing itself will lead to stack overflow. Both of these
issues are meant to be addressed._
5. TODO: Help messages, `which` command, `$nu.scope.aliases`, etc.
* Should we treat the aliases as commands or should they be separated
from regular commands?
6. Needs better error message and syntax highlight for recursed alias
(`alias f = f`)
7. Can't create alias with the same name as existing command (`alias ls
= ls -a`)
* Might be possible to add support for it (not 100% sure)
8. Standalone `alias` doesn't list aliases anymore
9. Can't alias parser keywords (e.g., stuff like `alias ou = overlay
use` won't work)
* TODO: Needs a better error message when attempting to do so
