# Description
"can't follow stream paths" errors have always been a bit scary and
obnoxious because they give no information about what happens...

in this PR i try to slightly improve the error message by telling if the
stream was empty or not and give span information when available.

# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
> update value (get value)
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access

  × Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ update value (get value)
   ·               ─┬─
   ·                ╰── empty pipeline doesn't support cell paths
   ╰────
```
```nushell
> ^echo "foo" | get 0
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access

  × Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │ ^echo "foo" | get 0
   ·  ──┬─
   ·    ╰── external stream doesn't support cell paths
   ╰────
```

nu-protocol

The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
