Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience. --> Merged PR #15553 added the ability to provide expressions in the form of records. This PR conforms the `NuExpression::can_downcast` logic to account for the newly allowed records argument type. As such, commands that rely on `can_downcast` in their implementation (e.g., `polars with-column`) will no longer err when provided with a record. See example below: ```nushell # Current error > [[a b]; [1 2] [3 4]] | polars into-df <-- only works if cast as lazyframe | polars with-column { c: ((polars col a) * 2) d: ((polars col a) * 3) } Error: nu:🐚:cant_convert × Can't convert to NuDataFrame, NuLazyFrame, NuExpression, NuLazyGroupBy, NuWhen, │ NuDataType, NuSchema. ╭─[entry #24:3:26] 2 │ | polars into-df 3 │ ╭─▶ | polars with-column { 4 │ │ c: ((polars col a) * 2) 5 │ │ d: ((polars col a) * 3) 6 │ ├─▶ } · ╰──── can't convert record<c: NuExpression, d: NuExpression> to NuDataFrame, NuLazyFrame, NuExpression, NuLazyGroupBy, NuWhen, NuDataType, NuSchema ╰──── # Fixed > [[a b]; [1 2] [3 4]] | polars into-df | polars with-column { c: ((polars col a) * 2) d: ((polars col a) * 3) } | polars collect ╭───┬───┬───┬───┬───╮ │ # │ a │ b │ c │ d │ ├───┼───┼───┼───┼───┤ │ 0 │ 1 │ 2 │ 2 │ 3 │ │ 1 │ 3 │ 4 │ 6 │ 9 │ ╰───┴───┴───┴───┴───╯ ``` # User-Facing Changes <!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here.

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.
