# Description
* As discussed in the comments in #11954, this suppresses the index
column on `cal` output. It does that by running `table -i false` on the
results by default.
* Added new `--as-table/-t` flag to revert to the old behavior and
output the calendar as structured data
* Updated existing tests to use `--as-table`
* Added new tests against the string output
* Updated `length` test which also used `cal`
* Added new example for `--as-table`, with result
# User-Facing Changes
## Breaking change
The *default* `cal` output has changed from a `list` to a `string`. To
obtain structured data from `cal`, use the new `--as-table/-t` flag.

# 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.

# 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
The working directory doesn't have to be set for those tests (or would
be the default anyways). When appropriate also remove calls to the
`pipeline()` function. In most places kept the diff minimal and only
removed the superfluous part to not pollute the blame view. With simpler
tests also simplified things to make them more readable overall (this
included removal of the raw string literal).
Work for #8670
* update docs to refer to length instead of count
* rename count to length
* change all occurrences of 'count' to 'length' in tests
* format length command
