// Note
// When creating plugins in other languages one needs to consider how a plugin
// is added and used in nushell.
// The steps are:
// - The plugin is register. In this stage nushell calls the binary file of
// the plugin sending information using the encoded PluginCall::PluginSignature object.
// Use this encoded data in your plugin to design the logic that will return
// the encoded signatures.
// Nushell is expecting and encoded PluginResponse::PluginSignature with all the
// plugin signatures
// - When calling the plugin, nushell sends to the binary file the encoded
// PluginCall::CallInfo which has all the call information, such as the
// values of the arguments, the name of the signature called and the input
// from the pipeline.
// Use this data to design your plugin login and to create the value that
// will be sent to nushell
// Nushell expects an encoded PluginResponse::Value from the plugin
// - If an error needs to be sent back to nushell, one can encode PluginResponse::Error.
// This is a labeled error that nushell can format for pretty printing
