# Description
* I was dismayed to discover recently that UnsupportedInput and
TypeMismatch are used *extremely* inconsistently across the codebase.
UnsupportedInput is sometimes used for input type-checks (as per the
name!!), but *also* used for argument type-checks. TypeMismatch is also
used for both.
I thus devised the following standard: input type-checking *only* uses
UnsupportedInput, and argument type-checking *only* uses TypeMismatch.
Moreover, to differentiate them, UnsupportedInput now has *two* error
arrows (spans), one pointing at the command and the other at the input
origin, while TypeMismatch only has the one (because the command should
always be nearby)
* In order to apply that standard, a very large number of
UnsupportedInput uses were changed so that the input's span could be
retrieved and delivered to it.
* Additionally, I noticed many places where **errors are not propagated
correctly**: there are lots of `match` sites which take a Value::Error,
then throw it away and replace it with a new Value::Error with
less/misleading information (such as reporting the error as an
"incorrect type"). I believe that the earliest errors are the most
important, and should always be propagated where possible.
* Also, to standardise one broad subset of UnsupportedInput error
messages, who all used slightly different wordings of "expected
`<type>`, got `<type>`", I created OnlySupportsThisInputType as a
variant of it.
* Finally, a bunch of error sites that had "repeated spans" - i.e. where
an error expected two spans, but `call.head` was given for both - were
fixed to use different spans.

# User-Facing Changes
Various error messages suddenly make more sense (i.e. have two arrows
instead of one).
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `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.
* Initialize join.rs as a copy of collect.rs
* Evolve StrCollect into StrJoin
* Replace 'str collect' with 'str join' everywhere
git ls-files | lines | par-each { |it| sed -i 's,str collect,str join,g' $it }
* Deprecate 'str collect'
* Revert "Deprecate 'str collect'"
This reverts commit 959d14203e.
* Change `str collect` help message to say that it is deprecated
We cannot remove `str collect` currently (i.e. via
`nu_protocol::ShellError::DeprecatedCommand` since a prominent project
uses the API:
b85542c31c/src/virtualenv/activation/nushell/activate.nu (L43)
There are many use cases. Here we introduce the following:
- The rows can be rolled `... | roll` (up) or `... | roll down`
- Columns can be rolled too (the default is on the `left`, you can pass `... | roll column --opposite` to roll in the other direction)
- You can `roll` the cells of a table and keeping the header names in the same order (`... | roll column --cells-only`)
- Above examples can also be passed (Ex. `... | roll down 3`) a number to tell how many places to roll.
Basic working example with rolling columns:
```
> echo '00000100'
| split chars
| each { str to-int }
| rotate counter-clockwise _
| reject _
| rename bit1 bit2 bit3 bit4 bit5 bit6 bit7 bit8
───┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────
# │ bit1 │ bit2 │ bit3 │ bit4 │ bit5 │ bit6 │ bit7 │ bit8
───┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────
0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 1 │ 0 │ 0
───┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────
```
We want to "shift" three bits to the left of the bitstring (four in decimal), let's try it:
```
> echo '00000100'
| split chars
| each { str to-int }
| rotate counter-clockwise _
| reject _
| rename bit1 bit2 bit3 bit4 bit5 bit6 bit7 bit8
| roll column 3
───┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────
# │ bit4 │ bit5 │ bit6 │ bit7 │ bit8 │ bit1 │ bit2 │ bit3
───┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────
0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 1 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0
───┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────
```
The tables was rolled correctly (32 in decimal, for above bitstring). However, the *last three header names* look confusing.
We can roll the cell contents only to fix it.
```
> echo '00000100'
| split chars
| each { str to-int }
| rotate counter-clockwise _
| reject _
| rename bit1 bit2 bit3 bit4 bit5 bit6 bit7 bit8
| roll column 3 --cells-only
───┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬──────
# │ bit1 │ bit2 │ bit3 │ bit4 │ bit5 │ bit6 │ bit7 │ bit8
───┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼──────
0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 1 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0 │ 0
───┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────┴──────
```
There we go. Let's compute it's decimal value now (should be 32)
```
> echo '00000100'
| split chars
| each { str to-int }
| rotate counter-clockwise _
| reject _
| roll column 3 --cells-only
| pivot bit --ignore-titles
| get bit
| reverse
| each --numbered { = $it.item * (2 ** $it.index) }
| math sum
32
```
