* 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.
* Update dependencies
* Document the lexer and lightly improve its names
The bulk of this pull request adds a substantial amount of new inline
documentation for the lexer. Along the way, I made a few minor changes
to the names in the lexer, most of which were internal.
The main change that affects other files is renaming `group` to `block`,
since the function is actually parsing a block (a list of groups).
* Fix rustfmt
* Update lock

* 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
