Based on the discussion in #13419.
## Description
Reworks the `decode`/`encode` commands by adding/changing the following
bases:
- `base32`
- `base32hex`
- `hex`
- `new-base64`
The `hex` base is compatible with the previous version of `hex` out of
the box (it only adds more flags). `base64` isn't, so the PR adds a new
version and deprecates the old one.
All commands have `string -> binary` signature for decoding and `string
| binary -> string` signature for encoding. A few `base64` encodings,
which are not a part of the
[RFC4648](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4648#section-6), have
been dropped.
## Example usage
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "string" | encode base32 | decode base32 | decode
string
```
```Nushell
~/fork/nushell> "ORSXG5A=" | decode base32
# `decode` always returns a binary value
Length: 4 (0x4) bytes | printable whitespace ascii_other non_ascii
00000000: 74 65 73 74 test
```
## User-Facing Changes
- New commands: `encode/decode base32/base32hex`.
- `encode hex` gets a `--lower` flag.
- `encode/decode base64` deprecated in favor of `encode/decode
new-base64`.
# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }
```

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)
I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`
# 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
@fdncred found another histogram based algorithm to detect columns, and
rewrite it in rust: https://github.com/fdncred/guess-width
I have tested it manually, and it works good with `df`, `docker ps`,
`^ps`. This pr is going to use the algorithm in `detect columns`
Fix: #4183
The pitfall of new algorithm:
1. it may not works well if there isn't too much rows of input
2. it may not works well if the length of value is less than the header
to value, e.g:
```
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5
a b c d e
g h i j k
g a a q d
a v c q q | detect columns
```
In this case, users might need to use ~~`--old`~~ `--legacy` to make it
works well.
# User-Facing Changes
User might need to add ~~`--old`~~ `--legacy` to scripts if they find
`detect columns` in their scripts broken.

once again, after deprecation comes removal 😌
# User-Facing Changes
`size` is now removed and `str size` should be used
# Tests + Formatting
# After Submitting
# Description
Those two commands are very complementary to `into duration` and `into
filesize` when you want to coerce a particular string output.
This keeps the old `format` command with its separate formatting syntax
still in `nu-cmd-extra`.
# User-Facing Changes
`format filesize` is back accessible with the default build. The new
`format duration` command is also available to everybody
# Tests + Formatting
# Description
Closes: #9891
I also think it's good to keep command name consistency.
And moving `date format` to deprecated.
# User-Facing Changes
Running `date format` will lead to deprecate message:
```nushell

# ⚙️ Description
in this PR i move the commands we've all agreed, in the core team, to
move out of the core Nushell to the `extra` feature.
> **Warning**
> in the first commits here, i've
> - moved the implementations to `nu-cmd-extra`
> - removed the declaration of all the commands below from `nu-command`
> - made sure the commands were not available anymore with `cargo run --
-n`
## the list of commands to move
with the current command table downloaded as `commands.csv`, i've run
```bash
let commands = (
open commands.csv
| where is_plugin == "FALSE" and category != "deprecated"
| select name category "approv. %"
| rename name category approval
| insert treated {|it| (
($it.approval == 100) or # all the core team agreed on them
($it.name | str starts-with "bits") or # see https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9241
($it.name | str starts-with "dfr") # see https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9327
)}
)
```
to preprocess them and then
```bash
$commands | where {|it| (not $it.treated) and ($it.approval == 0)}
```
to get all untreated commands with no approval, which gives
```

# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.
**Everyone:** Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent
use of `ShellError` variants.
- Name fields of `SE::IncorrectValue`
- Merge and name fields on `SE::TypeMismatch`
- Name fields on `SE::UnsupportedOperator`
- Name fields on `AssignmentRequires*` and fix doc
- Name fields on `SE::UnknownOperator`
- Name fields on `SE::MissingParameter`
- Name fields on `SE::DelimiterError`
- Name fields on `SE::IncompatibleParametersSingle`
