# 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).

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might
revisit the completions code after this PR)
Should use custom command instead:

# 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

# Description
The point of this command is to allow you to be able to format ints,
floats, filesizes, and strings with an alignment, padding, and a fill
character, as strings. It's meant to take the place of `str lpad` and
`str rpad`.
```
> help fill
Fill and Align
Search terms: display, render, format, pad, align
Usage:
> fill {flags}
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-w, --width <Int> - The width of the output. Defaults to 1
-a, --alignment <String> - The alignment of the output. Defaults to Left (Left(l), Right(r), Center(c/m), MiddleRight(cr/mr))
-c, --character <String> - The character to fill with. Defaults to ' ' (space)
Signatures:
<number> | fill -> <string>
<string> | fill -> <string>
Examples:
Fill a string on the left side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a l -c '─' -w 15
Fill a string on the right side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a r -c '─' -w 15
Fill a string on both sides to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a m -c '─' -w 15
Fill a number on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
> 1 | fill --alignment right --character 0 --width 5
Fill a filesize on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
> 1kib | fill --alignment middle --character 0 --width 10
```

# Description
Remove `--numbered` from ~~`for`~~, `each`, `par-each`, `reduce` and
`each while`. These all provide indexes (numbering) via the optional
second param to their closures.
EDIT: Closes#6986.
# User-Facing Changes
Every command that had `--numbered` listed as "deprecated" in their help
docs is affected.

# Description
Support extended unicode escapes in strings with same syntax as Rust:
`"\u{6e}"`.
# User-Facing Changes
New syntax in string literals, `\u{NNNNNN}`, to go along with the
existing `\uNNNN`.
New syntax accepts 1-6 hex digits and rejects values greater than
0x10FFFF (max Unicode char)..
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
Won't break existing scripts, since this is new syntax.
We might consider deprecating `char -u`, since users can now embed
unicode chars > 0xFFFF with the new escape.

# Description
This PR makes changes that allow underscores in numbers.
Example:
```nu
# allows underscores to be placed arbitrarily to enhance readability.
let pi = 3.1415_9265_3589_793
# works with integers
let num = 1_000_000_000_000
let fav_color = 0x68_9d_6a
```
# Description
This PR changes some commands that previously accepted row conditions
(like `$it > 5`) as parameter to accept closures instead. The reasons
are:
a) The commands would need to move into parser keywords in the future
while they feel more like commands to be implemented in Nushell code as
a part of standard library.
b) In scripts, it is useful to store the predicate condition in a
variable which you can't do with row conditions.
c) These commands are not used that often to benefit enough from the
shorter row condition syntax
# User-Facing Changes
The following commands now accept **closure** instead of a **row
condition**:
- `take until`
- `take while`
- `skip until`
- `skip while`
- `any`
- `all`
This is a part of an effort to move away from shape-directed parsing.

We already have the binary `bit-xor` and the shortcircuiting logical
`or`(`||`) and `and`(`&&`).
This introduces `xor` as a compact form for both brevity and clarity.
You can express the operation through `not`/`and`/`or` with a slight
risk of introducing bugs through typos.
Operator precedence
`and` > `xor` > `or`
Added logic and precedence tests.
Alters `all`, `any`, `each while`, `each`, `insert`, `par-each`, `reduce`, `update`, `upsert` and `where`,
so that their blocks take an optional parameter containing the index.
* Initialize join.rs as a copy of collect.rs
* Evolve StrCollect into StrJoin
* Replace 'str collect' with 'str join' everywhere
git ls-files | lines | par-each { |it| sed -i 's,str collect,str join,g' $it }
* Deprecate 'str collect'
* Revert "Deprecate 'str collect'"
This reverts commit 959d14203e.
* Change `str collect` help message to say that it is deprecated
We cannot remove `str collect` currently (i.e. via
`nu_protocol::ShellError::DeprecatedCommand` since a prominent project
uses the API:
b85542c31c/src/virtualenv/activation/nushell/activate.nu (L43)
Rename `all?`, `any?` and `empty?` to `all`, `any` and `is-empty` for sake of simplicity and consistency.
- More understandable for newcomers, that these commands are no special to others.
- `?` syntax did not really aprove readability. For me it made it worse.
- We can reserve `?` syntax for any other nushell feature.
* Fix failing unit tests on Windows (#5142)
Fix let_env_expressions failing on Windows:
The env expression uses PATH, but on windows Path is used.
Fix correctly_escape_external_arguments, execute_binary_in_string
failing on Windows:
Using cococo now to make sure testresults are platform independent
* Update macros.rs
