# Description
This PR removes `record` processing from the `length` command. It just
doesn't make sense to try and get the length of a record. This PR also
removes the `--column` parameter. If you want to list or count columns,
you could use `$table | columns` or `$table | columns | length`.

# Description
in most of the tests for `last` and `first`, we do not need to
- give `cwd` to `nu!`
- use pipeline as the tests are all short pipes
- use `r#" ... "#` as the pipes never contain quotes
this PR removes all these points from the tests for the `last` and
`first` commands.

- Previously, `last` on binary data returned an integer. Now it returns
a binary
- Now, `[] | last` and `[] | first` are both errors.
- Now, `ls | table | first` and `ls | table | last` are both errors.

Cleans up various tests that unnecessarily use the `cwd` argument of
`nu!`, and the `pipeline` function for single line commands. Also
replaces some unnecessary raw strings with normal strings. Part of
#8670.

Closes#7581.
After this PR, `describe` shows `(stream)` next to input that arrived at
`describe` as a `ListStream`:
```bash
〉ls | describe
table<name: string, type: string, size: filesize, modified: date> (stream)
〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe
list<int> (stream)
```
`describe` must collect all items of the stream to display type
information for lists and tables. If users need to avoid collecting
input, they can use the `-n`/`--no-collect` flag:
```bash
〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe --no-collect
stream
```
Fixes a two's complement underflow/overflow when given a negative arg.
Breaking change as it is throwing an error instead of most likely
returning most of the output.
Same behavior as #7184
