# Description Currently, this pipeline doesn't work `open --raw file | take 100`, since the type of the byte stream is `Unknown`, but `take` expects `Binary` streams. This PR changes commands that expect `ByteStreamType::Binary` to also work with `ByteStreamType::Unknown`. This was done by adding two new methods to `ByteStreamType`: `is_binary_coercible` and `is_string_coercible`. These return true if the type is `Unknown` or matches the type in the method name.
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.
