# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.

This is an internal refactoring for `explore`.
Previously, views inside `explore` were created with default/incorrect
configuration and then the correct configuration was passed to them
using a function called `setup()`. I believe this was because
configuration was dynamic and could change while `explore` was running.
After https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/10259, configuration can
no longer be changed on the fly. So we can clean this up by removing
`setup()` and passing configuration to views when they are created.
This PR fixes an issue with `explore` where you can "drill down" into
the same value forever. For example:
1. Run `ls | explore`
2. Press Enter to enter cursor mode
3. Press Enter again to open the selected string in a new layer
4. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
5. Press Enter again to open that string in a new layer
6. Repeat and eventually you have a bajillion layers open with the same
string
IMO it only makes sense to "drill down" into lists and records.
In a separate commit I also did a little refactoring, cleaning up naming
and comments.

Somehow I believe that split lines were implemented originally; (I
haven't got to find it though; from a quick look)
I mean a long time ago before a lot a changes were made.
Probably adding horizontal lines would make also some sense.

Take care
________________
If `explore` is used, frequently, or planned to be so.
I guess it would be a good one to create a test suite for it; to not
break things occasionally 😅
I did approached it one time back then using `expectrl` (literally
`expect`), but there was some issues.
Maybe smth. did change.
Or some `clean` mode could be introduced for it, to being able to be
used by outer programs; to control `nu`.
Just thoughts here.
Could be improved further I guess; but not here;
You can test the speed differences using data from #13088
```nu
open data.db | get profiles | explore
```
address: #13062

1. Noticed that search does not work anymore (even on `main` branch).
2. Not sure about resolved merged conflicts, seems fine, but maybe
something was lost.

Configuration in `explore` has always been confusing to me. This PR
overhauls (and simplifies, I think) how configuration is done.
# Details
1. Configuration is now strongly typed. In `Explore::run()` we create an
`ExploreConfig` struct from the more general Nu configuration and
arguments to `explore`, then pass that struct to other parts of
`explore` that need configuration. IMO this is a lot easier to reason
about and trace than the previous approach of creating a
`HashMap<String, Value>` and then using that to make various structs
elsewhere.
2. We now inherit more configuration from the config used for regular Nu
tables
1. Border/line styling now uses the `separator` style used for regular
Nu tables, the special `explore.split_line` config point has been
retired.
2. Cell padding in tables is now controlled by `table.padding` instead
of the undocumented `column_padding_left`/`column_padding_right` config
3. The (optional, previously not enabled by default) `selected_row` and
`selected_column` configuration has been removed. We now only highlight
the selected cell. I could re-add this if people really like the feature
but I'm guessing nobody uses it.
The interface still looks the same with a default/empty config.nu:
This fixes up a panic I accidentally introduced when refactoring the
cursor code in `explore`: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12979
Under certain circumstances (running `:nu []`, opening `:try` with the
hidden `try.reactive` setting enabled), `explore` would panic when
handling an empty list. To fix this for now I've removed the validation
I added to the Cursor constructor in that PR.
`explore` has 3 cursor-related structs that are extensively used to
track the currently shown "window" of the data being shown. I was
finding the cursor code quite difficult to follow, so this PR:
- rewrites the base `Cursor` struct from scratch, with some tests
- makes big changes to `WindowCursor`
- renames `XYCursor` to `WindowCursor2D`
- makes some of the cursor functions fallible as a start towards better
error handling
- changes lots of function names to things that I find more intuitive
- adds comments, including ASCII diagrams to explain how the cursors
work
More work could be done (I'd like to review/change more function names
in `WindowCursor` and `WindowCursor2D` and add more tests), but this is
the limit of what I can get done in a weekend. I think this part of the
code is in a better place now.
# Testing performed
I did a lot of manual testing in the record view and binary viewer,
moving around with arrow keys / page up+down / home+end.
This can definitely wait until after the release freeze, this area has
very few automated tests and it'd be good to let the changes bake a bit.
Closes#12980. More context there, but basically `explore` was getting
file metadata for every row every time the record view was rendered. The
quick fix for now is to do the `LS_COLORS` colouring with a `&str`
instead of a path and file metadata.
Another very boring PR cleaning up and documenting some of `explore`'s
innards. Mostly renaming things that I found confusing or vague when
reading through the code, also adding some comments.
Small change, removing 4 more configuration options from `explore`'s
binary viewer:
1. `show_index`
2. `show_data`
3. `show_ascii`
4. `show_split`
These controlled whether the 3 columns in the binary viewer (index, hex
data, ASCII) and the pipe separator (`|`) in between them are shown. I
don't think we need this level of configurability until the `explore`
command is more mature, and maybe even not then; we can just show them
all.
I think it's very unlikely that anyone is using these configuration
points.
Also, the row offset (e.g. how many rows we have scrolled down) was
being stored in config/settings when it's arguably not config; more like
internal state of the binary viewer. I moved it to a more appropriate
location and renamed it.
Some minor changes to `explore`, continuing on my mission to simplify
the command in preparation for a larger UX overhaul:
1. Consolidate padding configuration. I don't think we need separate
config points for the (optional) index column and regular data columns
in the normal pager, they can share padding configuration. Likewise, in
the binary viewer all 3 columns (index, data, ASCII) had their
left+right padding configured independently.
2. Update `explore` so we use the binary viewer for the new `ByteStream`
type. `cat foo.txt | into binary | explore` was not using the binary
viewer after the `ByteStream` changes.
3. Tweak the naming of a few helper functions, add a comment
I've put the changes in separate commits to make them easier to review.

# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
File(File),
Child(ChildProcess),
}
```
This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.
Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
Empty,
Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```
The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.
This PR fixes#7017, fixes#10763, and fixes#12369.
This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |
# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

# Description
Add boundary checks to ensure that the row and column chosen in
RecordView are not over the length of the possible row and columns. If
we are out of bounds, we default to Value::nothing.
# Tests + Formatting
Tests ran and formatting done
# Description
Adds subcommands to `sys` corresponding to each column of the record
returned by `sys`. This is to alleviate the fact that `sys` now returns
a regular record, meaning that it must compute every column which might
take a noticeable amount of time. The subcommands, on the other hand,
only need to compute and return a subset of the data which should be
much faster. In fact, it should be as fast as before, since this is how
the lazy record worked (it would compute only each column as necessary).
I choose to add subcommands instead of having an optional cell-path
parameter on `sys`, since the cell-path parameter would:
- increase the code complexity (can access any value at any row or
nested column)
- prevents discovery with tab-completion
- hinders type checking and allows users to pass potentially invalid
columns
# User-Facing Changes
Deprecates `sys` in favor of the new `sys` subcommands.
# Description
Does some misc changes to `ListStream`:
- Moves it into its own module/file separate from `RawStream`.
- `ListStream`s now have an associated `Span`.
- This required changes to `ListStreamInfo` in `nu-plugin`. Note sure if
this is a breaking change for the plugin protocol.
- Hides the internals of `ListStream` but also adds a few more methods.
- This includes two functions to more easily alter a stream (these take
a `ListStream` and return a `ListStream` instead of having to go through
the whole `into_pipeline_data(..)` route).
- `map`: takes a `FnMut(Value) -> Value`
- `modify`: takes a function to modify the inner stream.
# Description
Nightly clippy found some unused fields leading me down a rabbit hole of
dead code hidden behind `pub`
Generally removing any already dead code or premature configurability
that is not exposed to the user.
# User-Facing Changes
None in effect.
Removed some options from the `$env.config.explore.hex-dump` record that
were only read into a struct but never used and also not validated.
# Description
Removes lazy records from the language, following from the reasons
outlined in #12622. Namely, this should make semantics more clear and
will eliminate concerns regarding maintainability.
# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change: `lazy make` is removed.
- Breaking change: `describe --collect-lazyrecords` flag is removed.
- `sys` and `debug info` now return regular records.
# After Submitting
- Update nushell book if necessary.
- Explore new `sys` and `debug info` APIs to prevent them from taking
too long (e.g., subcommands or taking an optional column/cell-path
argument).
This PR:
1. Adds basic support for `CustomValue` to `explore`. Previously `open
foo.db | explore` didn't really work, now we "materialize" the whole
database to a `Value` before loading it
2. Adopts `anyhow` for error handling in `explore`. Previously we were
kind of rolling our own version of `anyhow` by shoving all errors into a
`std::io::Error`; I think this is much nicer. This was necessary because
as part of 1), collecting input is now fallible...
3. Removes a lot of `explore`'s fancy command help system.
- Previously each command (`:help`, `:try`, etc.) had a sophisticated
help system with examples etc... but this was not very visible to users.
You had to know to run `:help :try` or view a list of commands with
`:help :`
- As discussed previously, we eventually want to move to a less modal
approach for `explore`, without the Vim-like commands. And so I don't
think it's worth keeping this command help system around (it's
intertwined with other stuff, and making these changes would have been
harder if keeping it).
4. Rename the `--reverse` flag to `--tail`. The flag scrolls to the end
of the data, which IMO is described better by "tail"
5. Does some renaming+commenting to clear up things I found difficult to
understand when navigating the `explore` code
I initially thought 1) would be just a few lines, and then this PR blew
up into much more extensive changes 😅
## Before
The whole database was being displayed as a single Nuon/JSON line 🤔
## After
The database gets displayed like a record
## Future work
It is sort of annoying that we have to load a whole SQLite database into
memory to make this work; it will be impractical for large databases.
I'd like to explore improvements to `CustomValue` that can make this
work more efficiently.
# Description
Duration can not be negative, and an underflow causes a panic.
This should fix#12539 as from what I can tell that bug was caused in
`nu-explore:📟:events` from subtracting durations, but I figured
this might be more widespread, and saturating to zero generally makes
sense.
I also added the relevant clippy lint to try to prevent this from
happening in the future. I can't think of a reason we would ever want to
subtract durations without checking first.

# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.
As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.
There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.
The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.

I spent a while trying to come up with a good name for what is currently
`IoStream`. Looking back, this name is not the best, because it:
1. Implies that it is a stream, when it all it really does is specify
the output destination for a stream/pipeline.
2. Implies that it handles input and output, when it really only handles
output.
So, this PR renames `IoStream` to `OutDest` instead, which should be
more clear.

# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

# Description
This makes many of the larger objects in `EngineState` into `Arc`, and
uses `Arc::make_mut` to do clone-on-write if the reference is not
unique. This is generally very cheap, giving us the best of both worlds
- allowing us to mutate without cloning if we have an exclusive
reference, and cloning if we don't.
This started as more of a curiosity for me after remembering that
`Arc::make_mut` exists and can make using `Arc` for mostly immutable
data that sometimes needs to be changed very convenient, and also after
hearing someone complain about memory usage on Discord - this is a
somewhat significant win for that.
The exact objects that were wrapped in `Arc`:
- `files`, `file_contents` - the strings and byte buffers
- `decls` - the whole `Vec`, but mostly to avoid lots of individual
`malloc()` calls on Clone rather than for memory usage
- `blocks` - the blocks themselves, rather than the outer Vec
- `modules` - the modules themselves, rather than the outer Vec
- `env_vars`, `previous_env_vars` - the entire maps
- `config`
The changes required were relatively minimal, but this is a breaking API
change. In particular, blocks are added as Arcs, to allow the parser
cache functionality to work.
With my normal nu config, running on Linux, this saves me about 15 MiB
of process memory usage when running interactively (65 MiB → 50 MiB).
This also makes quick command executions cheaper, particularly since
every REPL loop now involves a clone of the engine state so that we can
recover from a panic. It also reduces memory usage where engine state
needs to be cloned and sent to another thread or kept within an
iterator.
# User-Facing Changes
Shouldn't be any, since it's all internal stuff, but it does change some
public interfaces so it's a breaking change
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.
To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.
This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |
(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)
This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.
Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.
# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.
- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:
1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`

But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:

- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.
- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
```nushell
(nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.
- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
```nushell
(^echo a; ^echo b)
```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").
- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).
# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.
# Description
Fixes some ignored clippy lints.
# User-Facing Changes
Changes some signatures and return types to `&dyn Command` instead of
`&Box<dyn Command`, but I believe this is only an internal change.

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.
The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.
In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.
Try `help debug profile`.
## Screenshots
Basic output:
To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):
## Benchmarks
### Binary size
Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_
### Time
```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```
```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench
let test = {
1..100
| each {
ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
}
| flatten
| math avg
}
print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```
`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.
`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.
## API changes
This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).
I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.
## TODO
- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

# 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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` to run the tests for the standard library

# Description
This PR introduces [workspaces
dependencies](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-dependencies-table).
The advantages are:
- a single place where dependency versions are declared
- reduces the number of files to change when upgrading a dependency
- reduces the risk of accidentally depending on 2 different versions of
the same dependency
I've only done a few so far. If this PR is accepted, I might continue
and progressively do the rest.

# Description
Following #11851, this PR adds one final conversion function for
`Value`. `Value::coerce_str` takes a `&Value` and converts it to a
`Cow<str>`, creating an owned `String` for types that needed converting.
Otherwise, it returns a borrowed `str` for `String` and `Binary`
`Value`s which avoids a clone/allocation. Where possible, `coerce_str`
and `coerce_into_string` should be used instead of `coerce_string`,
since `coerce_string` always allocates a new `String`.
