# Description

Span fields were previously renamed to `internal_span` to discourage
their use in Rust code, but this change also affected the serde I/O for
Value. I don't believe the Python plugin was ever updated to reflect
this change.

This effectively changes it back, but just for the serialized form.
There are good reasons for doing this:

1. `internal_span` is a much longer name, and would be one of the most
common strings found in serialized Value data, probably bulking up the
plugin I/O

2. This change was never really meant to have implications for plugins,
and was just meant to be a hint that `.span()` should be used instead in
Rust code.

When Span refactoring is complete, the serialized form of Value will
probably change again in some significant way, so I think for now it's
best that it's left like this.

This has implications for #11911, particularly for documentation and for
the Python plugin as that was already updated in that PR to reflect
`internal_span`. If this is merged first, I will update that PR.

This would probably be considered a breaking change as it would break
plugin I/O compatibility (but not Rust code). I think it can probably go
in any major release though - all things considered, it's pretty minor,
and users are already expected to recompile plugins for new major
versions. However, it may also be worth holding off to do it together
with #11911 as that PR makes breaking changes in general a little bit
friendlier.

# User-Facing Changes

Requires plugin recompile.

# 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` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` 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
> ```
-->
- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

Nothing outside of `Value` itself had to be changed to make tests pass.
I did not check the Python plugin and whether it works now, but it was
broken before. It may work again as I think the main incompatibility it
had was expecting to use `span`

# 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.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
