* Put parse_definition related funcs into own module
* Add failing lexer test
* Implement Parsing of definition signature
This commit applied changes how the signature of a function is parsed. Before
there was a little bit of "quick-and-dirty" string-matching/parsing involved.
Now, a signature is a little bit more properly parsed.
The grammar of a definition signature understood by these parsing-functions is
as follows:
`[ (parameter | flag | <eol>)* ]`
where
parameter is:
`name (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
flag is:
`--name (-shortform)? (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
(Note: After the last item no <,> has to come.)
Note: It is now possible to pass comments to flags and parameters
Example:
[
d:int # The required d parameter
--x (-x):string # The all powerful x flag
--y (-y):int # The accompanying y flag
]
(Sadly there seems to be a bug (Or is this expected behaviour?) in the lexer, because of which `--x(-x)` would
be treated as one baseline token and is therefore not correctly recognized as 2. For
now a space has to be inserted)
During the implementation of the module, 2 question arose:
Should flag/parameter names be allowed to be type names?
Example case:
```shell
def f [ string ] { echo $string }
```
Currently an error is thrown
* Fix clippy lints
* Remove wrong comment
* Add spacing
* Add Cargo.lock
We split off the evaluation engine part of nu-cli into its own crate. This helps improve build times for nu-cli by 17% in my tests. It also helps us see a bit better what's the core engine portion vs the part specific to the interactive CLI piece.
There's more than can be done here, but I think it's a good start in the right direction.
* Begin allowing comments and multiline scripts.
* clippy
* Finish moving to groups. Test pass

* Pick ...or_insert_dependency functions into pieces
Previously there was get_shape_of_expr_or_insert dependency, now there is
get_shape_of_expr and get_shape_of_expr_or_insert_dependency
2 new functions have been added: get_result_shape_of_math_expr and
get_result_shape_of_math_expr_or_insert_dependency
* Remove flattening of deep binary expressions
Previously deep binary expressions have been flattened through the insertion of
fake vars. This logic was quite complicated. Now if a variable depends on the
result shape of a binary expression and the result shape can't be computed,
the variable simply depends on the whole binary.
* Change Expression::Variable(Variable::It(...)) to Expression::Variable(...)
* Simplify get_result_shapes_in_math_expr
* Simplify infer_shapes_in_binary_expr
* Clarify comment
* Clarify comment
* Fix clippy lint
* Move check for real var into checked_insert
* Remove comment
* Rename var
Continuing on anchoring and improvements on Nu's overall internal commands (#2635).
`move column` sub command has been turned into the command `move` since
we use it to move exclusively columns. Examples added as well.
Fixed it to carry along any anchor locations that might be in place if
table to be moved originates from other sources.
* Add parser improvements
Previously everything starting with "$" was parsed as a column path.
With this commit applied, the lite_arg starting with $ is parsed as
the most appropriate thing
- $true/$false ==> Expression::Boolean
- $(...) ==> Invocation
- $it ==> ColumnPath
- Anything with at least one '.' ==> ColumnPath
- Anything else ==> Variable
* Ignore failing tests
Nu has many commands that allow the nuño to customize behavior such
as UI and behavior. Today, coloring can be customized, the line editor,
and other things. The more options there are, the higher the complexity
in managing them.
To mitigate this Nu can store configuration options as nested properties.
But to add and edit them can be taxing. With column path support we can
work with them easier.
