# Description
Added a few syntax errors in ints and strings, changed parser to stop
and show that error rather than continue trying to parse those tokens as
some other shape. However, I don't see how to push this direction much
further, and most of the classic confusing errors can't be changed.
Flagged as WIP for the moment, but passes all checks and works better
than current release:
1. I have yet to figure out how to make these errors refer back to the
book, as I see some other errors do.
2. How to give syntax error when malformed int is first token in line?
Currently parsed as external command, user gets confusing error message.
3. Would like to be more strict with *decimal* int literals (lacking,
e.g, `0x' prefix). Need to tinker more with the order of parse shape
calls, currently, float is tried after int, so '1.4' has to be passed.

```bash
〉"\z"
Error:
╭─[entry #3:1:1]
1 │ "\z"
· ─┬─
· ╰── Syntax error in string, unrecognized character after escape '\'.
╰────
```
Canonic presentation of a syntax error.
```bash
〉" \u{01ffbogus}"
Error:
× Invalid syntax
╭─[entry #2:1:1]
1 │ " \u{01ffbogus}"
· ───────┬──────
· ╰── Syntax error in string, expecting 1 to 6 hex digits in unicode escape '\u{X...}', max value 10FFFF.
╰────
```
Malformed unicode escape in string, flagged as error.
String parse can be opinionated, it's the last shape tried.
```bash
〉0x22bogus
Error: nu:🐚:external_command (link)
× External command failed
╭─[entry #4:1:1]
1 │ 0x22bogus
· ────┬────
· ╰── executable was not found
╰────
help: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
A *correct* number in first token would be evaluated, but an *incorrect*
one is treated as external command? Confusing to users.
```bash
〉0 + 0x22bogus
Error:
× Invalid syntax
╭─[entry #5:1:1]
1 │ 0 + 0x22bogus
· ────┬────
· ╰── Syntax error in int, invalid digits in radix 16 int.
╰────
```
Can give syntax error if token is unambiguously int literal. e.g has 0b
or 0x prefix, could not be a float.
```bash
〉0 + 098bogus
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation (link)
× Types mismatched for operation.
╭─[entry #6:1:1]
1 │ 0 + 098bogus
· ┬ ┬ ────┬───
· │ │ ╰── string
· │ ╰── doesn't support these values.
· ╰── int
╰────
help: Change int or string to be the right types and try again.
```
But *decimal* literal (no prefix) can't be too strict. Parser is going
to try float later. So '1.4' must be passed.
# User-Facing Changes
First and foremost, more specific error messages for typos in string and
int literals. Probably improves interactive user experience.
But a script that was causing and then checking for specific error might
notice a different error message.

# Tests + Formatting
Added (positive and negative unit tests in `cargo test -p nu-parser`.
Didn't add integration tests.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- [x] `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting
(`cargo fmt --all` applies these changes)
- [x] `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- [x] `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

# Description
Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`
More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)
Alternative to #7865
# User-Facing Changes
None intended
# Tests + Formatting
(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)
# Description
Support extended unicode escapes in strings with same syntax as Rust:
`"\u{6e}"`.
# User-Facing Changes
New syntax in string literals, `\u{NNNNNN}`, to go along with the
existing `\uNNNN`.
New syntax accepts 1-6 hex digits and rejects values greater than
0x10FFFF (max Unicode char)..
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
Won't break existing scripts, since this is new syntax.
We might consider deprecating `char -u`, since users can now embed
unicode chars > 0xFFFF with the new escape.
# Tests + Formatting
Several unit tests and one integration test added.
