# Description
Before this change `default` would dive into lists and replace `null`
elements with the default value.
Therefore there was no easy way to process `null|list<null|string>`
input and receive `list<null|string>`
(IOW to apply the default on the top level only).
However it's trivially easy to apply default values to list elements
with the `each` command:
```nushell
[null, "a", null] | each { default "b" }
```
So there's no need to have this behavior in `default` command.
# User-Facing Changes
* `default` no longer dives into lists to replace `null` elements with
the default value.
# Tests + Formatting
Added a couple of tests for the new (and old) behavior.
# After Submitting
* Update docs.
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.
