# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)
This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `Value` in `nu-protocol` which is exposed as
part of the plugin API.
# Description
As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

# Description
This doesn't really do much that the user could see, but it helps get us
ready to do the steps of the refactor to split the span off of Value, so
that values can be spanless. This allows us to have top-level values
that can hold both a Value and a Span, without requiring that all values
have them.
We expect to see significant memory reduction by removing so many
unnecessary spans from values. For example, a table of 100,000 rows and
5 columns would have a savings of ~8megs in just spans that are almost
always duplicated.

This PR should close#8036, #9028 (in the negative) and #9118.
Fix for #9118 is a bit pedantic. As reported, the issue is:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
3yr 12month 2day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
with this PR, you now get:
```
> 2023-05-07T04:08:45+12:00 - 2019-05-10T09:59:12+12:00
208wk 1day 18hr 9min 33sec
```
Which is strictly correct, but could still fairly be called "weird date
arithmetic".
# Description
* [x] Abide by constraint that Value::Duration remains a number of
nanoseconds with no additional fields.
* [x] `to_string()` only displays weeks .. nanoseconds. Duration doesn't
have base date to compute months or years from.
* [x] `duration | into record` likewise only has fields for weeks ..
nanoseconds.
* [x] `string | into duration` now accepts compound form of duration
to_string() (e.g '2day 3hr`, not just '2day')
* [x] `duration | into string` now works (and produces the same
representation as to_string(), which may be compound).
# User-Facing Changes
## duration -> string -> duration
Now you can "round trip" an arbitrary duration value: convert it to a
string that may include multiple time units (a "compound" value), then
convert that string back into a duration. This required changes to
`string | into duration` and the addition of `duration | into string'.
```
> 2day + 3hr
2day 3hr # the "to_string()" representation (in this case, a compound value)
> 2day + 3hr | into string
2day 3hr # string value
> 2day + 3hr | into string | into duration
2day 3hr # round-trip duration -> string -> duration
```
Note that `to nuon` and `from nuon` already round-tripped durations, but
use a different string representation.
## potentially breaking changes
* string rendering of a duration no longer has 'yr' or 'month' phrases.
* record from `duration | into record` no longer has 'year' or 'month'
fields.
The excess duration is all lumped into the `week` field, which is the
largest time unit you can
convert to without knowing the datetime from which the duration was
calculated.
Scripts that depended on month or year time units on output will need to
be changed.
### Examples
```
> 365day
52wk 1day
## Used to be:
## 1yr
> 365day | into record
╭──────┬────╮
│ week │ 52 │
│ day │ 1 │
│ sign │ + │
╰──────┴────╯
## used to be:
##╭──────┬───╮
##│ year │ 1 │
##│ sign │ + │
##╰──────┴───╯
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns)
56wk 6day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## used to be:
## 1yr 1month 3day 6hr 7min 8sec 9ms 10µs 11ns
## which looks reasonable, but was actually only correct in 75% of the years and 25% of the months in the last 4 years.
> (365day + 4wk + 5day + 6hr + 7min + 8sec + 9ms + 10us + 11ns) | into record
╭─────────────┬────╮
│ week │ 56 │
│ day │ 6 │
│ hour │ 6 │
│ minute │ 7 │
│ second │ 8 │
│ millisecond │ 9 │
│ microsecond │ 10 │
│ nanosecond │ 11 │
│ sign │ + │
╰─────────────┴────╯
```
Strictly speaking, these changes could break an existing user script.
Losing years and months as time units is arguably a regression in
behavior.
Also, the corrected duration calculation could break an existing script
that was calibrated using the old algorithm.

# Description
Inspired by #7592
For brevity use `Value::test_{string,int,float,bool}`
Includes fixes to commands that were abusing `Span::test_data` in their
implementation. Now the call span is used where possible or the explicit
`Span::unknonw` is used.
## Command fixes
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `query_xml`
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `term size`
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `seq date`
- Fix two abuses of `Span::test_data` in `nu-cli`
- Change `Span::test_data` to `Span::unknown` in `keybindings listen`
- Add proper call span to `registry query`
- Fix span use in `nu_plugin_query`
- Fix span assignment in `select`
- Use `Span::unknown` instead of `test_data` in more places
## Other
- Use `Value::test_int`/`test_float()` consistently
- More `test_string` and `test_bool`
- Fix unused imports
# User-Facing Changes
Some commands may now provide more helpful spans for downstream use in
errors
# Description
While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
val: a,
span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.
