# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->
# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!
The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which
provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.
To see what's here:
> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ usage │
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ std assert │ Universal assert command │
│ 1 │ std assert equal │ Assert $left == $right │
. . .
│ 11 │ std clip │ put the end of a pipe into the system clipboard. │
│ 12 │ std dirs add │ Add one or more directories to the list. │

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts
All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment
(the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the
use command.
You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:
use std
std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)
Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.
use std ["log debug" assert]
log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)
This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
