Closes #7581. After this PR, `describe` shows `(stream)` next to input that arrived at `describe` as a `ListStream`: ```bash 〉ls | describe table<name: string, type: string, size: filesize, modified: date> (stream) 〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe list<int> (stream) ``` `describe` must collect all items of the stream to display type information for lists and tables. If users need to avoid collecting input, they can use the `-n`/`--no-collect` flag: ```bash 〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe --no-collect stream ```
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.
