# Description
Something I meant to add a long time ago. We currently don't have a
convenient way to print raw binary data intentionally. You can pipe it
through `cat` to turn it into an unknown stream, or write it to a file
and read it again, but we can't really just e.g. generate msgpack and
write it to stdout without this. For example:
```nushell
[abc def] | to msgpack | print --raw
```
This is useful for nushell scripts that will be piped into something
else. It also means that `nu_plugin_nu_example` probably doesn't need to
do this anymore, but I haven't adjusted it yet:
```nushell
def tell_nushell_encoding [] {
print -n "\u{0004}json"
}
```
This happens to work because 0x04 is a valid UTF-8 character, but it
wouldn't be possible if it were something above 0x80.
`--raw` also formats other things without `table`, I figured the two
things kind of go together. The output is kind of like `to text`.
Debatable whether that should share the same flag, but it was easier
that way and seemed reasonable.
# User-Facing Changes
- `print` new flag: `--raw`
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes (command modified)

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.
