Given we can write nu scripts. As the codebase grows, splitting into many smaller nu scripts is necessary.
In general, when we work with paths and files we seem to face quite a few difficulties. Here we just tackle one of them and it involves sourcing
files that also source other nu files and so forth. The current working directory becomes important here and being on a different directory
when sourcing scripts will not work. Mostly because we expand the path on the current working directory and parse the files when a source command
call is done.
For the moment, we introduce a `lib_dirs` configuration value and, unfortunately, introduce a new dependency in `nu-parser` (`nu-data`) to get
a handle of the configuration file to retrieve it. This should give clues and ideas as the new parser engine continues (introduce a way to also know paths)
With this PR we can do the following:
Let's assume we want to write a nu library called `my_library`. We will have the code in a directory called `project`: The file structure will looks like this:
```
project/my_library.nu
project/my_library/hello.nu
project/my_library/name.nu
```
This "pattern" works well, that is, when creating a library have a directory named `my_library` and next to it a `my_library.nu` file. Filling them like this:
```
source my_library/hello.nu
source my_library/name.nu
```
```
def hello [] {
"hello world"
}
```
```
def name [] {
"Nu"
end
```
Assuming this `project` directory is stored at `/path/to/lib/project`, we can do:
```
config set lib_dirs ['path/to/lib/project']
```
Given we have this `lib_dirs` configuration value, we can be anywhere while using Nu and do the following:
```
source my_library.nu
echo (hello) (name)
```
The nu-serde crate allows us to become much more generic with respect to how we
convert output to `nu-protocol::Value`s. This allows us to remove a lot of the
special-case code that we wrote for deserializing JSON values.

* Add the nu-serde crate
nu-serde is a crate that can be used to turn a value implementing
`serde::Serialize` into a `nu-protocol::Value`. This has the potential to
significantly simplify plugin authorship.
This crate was the previously independent
[serde-nu](https://github.com/lily-mara/serde-nu) but the nushell maintainers
expressed an interest in having it added to the mainline nushell repository.
* fixup! Add the nu-serde crate
* nuframe in its own type in UntaggedValue

* Dataframe created from list of values
* Corrected order in dataframe columns
* Returned tag from stream collection

* Replace all command
* String commands
* appending operations with dfs
* Testing suite for dataframes
* Unit test for dataframe commands
* improved equality for dataframes
* moving all dataframe operations to protocol
* objects in dataframes
* Removed cloning when converting to row
This brings the features used by the `nu_plugin_fetch` and
`nu_plugin_post` in line and drops the default-features, reducing
the number of pulled-in dependencies and avoiding a second round of
compilations.

Hashers now uses on Rust Crypto Digest trait which makes it trivial to
implement additional hash functions.
The original `md5` crate does not implement the Digest trait and was
replaced by `md-5` crate which does. Sha256 uses already included `sha2`
crate.

`nu_plugin_post` in line and drops the default-features, reducing

This brings with it a reduction in the number of duplicated
dependencies that it has and the overhead it imposes on our
build.
The number of crates that need to be built for
`cargo build --features extra` drops by roughly 50.
Nothing used the `ptree` feature or optional dependency within
`nu-command` except to include it within the `version` output. This
may be related to when `nu-cli` also had a `ptree` feature, but
I'm not sure.
That leaves the code within `nu_plugin_tree` as the sole remaining
user of `ptree`, which is already covered by the feature `tree`
and included in the `version` output.
* Type in command description
* filter name change
* Clean column name
* Clippy error and updated polars version
* Lint correction in file
* CSV Infer schema optional
* Correct float operations
* changes in series castings to allow other types
* Clippy error correction
* Removed lists from command signatures
* Added not command for series
* take command with args
* set with idx command
Seems we do `ctrl` feature checks in `nu-cli` and `nu-command`. We should find a better way to report the enabled features un the `version` command without using the conditionals (or somewhere else)
Added test cases that ensure that special characters in path names are passed
to external commands correctly. These cases have been implemented with rstest
to reuse existing test code.
In Nu we have variables (E.g. $var-name) and these contain `Value` types.
This means we can bind to variables any structured data and column path syntax
(E.g. `$variable.path.to`) allows flexibility for "querying" said structures.
Here we offer completions for these. For example, in a Nushell session the
variable `$nu` contains environment values among other things. If we wanted to
see in the screen some environment variable (say the var `SHELL`) we do:
```
> echo $nu.env.SHELL
```
with completions we can now do: `echo $nu.env.S[\TAB]` and we get suggestions
that start at the column path `$nu.env` with vars starting with the letter `S`
in this case `SHELL` appears in the suggestions.
* plugin: basic from_mp4 implementation
This patch introduces a very basic implementation of from_mp4, with only
a few bits of meta-data available. The rest of the available meta-data
(which is more than half left), will be included in a later patch
* Mp4: Almost all track metadata is implemented
Only meta-data that is not implemented is duration, facing some weird
issue I am going to check on later
* Mp4: All meta-data fields implemented
All meta-data fields that can be retrieved are now retrieved, with the
exception of duration for both tracks and the entire file itself because
there is still an issue. However, that will be fixed in the upcoming
patches
* fix: UntaggedValue::duration() serializes correctly now
Previous to this patch, there was an issue where when you would use
UntaggedValue::duration() it would result in an invalid JSONRPC
resulting string when using the protocol. This patch fixes this issue
* Mp4: Duration fixed for file and tracks
* plugins: Add plugin extra to src/plugins
* Mp4: Replace unwrap() with expect()
* Fix: Remove test mp4 file
We've relied on `clap` for building our cli app bootstrapping that figures out the positionals, flags, and other convenient facilities. Nu has been capable of solving this problem for quite some time. Given this and much more reasons (including the build time caused by `clap`) we start here working with our own.

Previous to this commit, the sysinfo crate would show blank `brand` for
Apple M1 architectures whenever you would run `sys | get cpu`.
I have fixed the issue in sysinfo, so bumping the dependency version to 0.18.2
means brand now is retrieved successfully on M1 architectures.
Changes:
* Bug fix - bat adds markers only when a file path is passed and it can use git2
on it. It doesn't add markers when bytes are passed. Hence, the code is
adjusted accordingly. The sideeffect is files being opened multiple
times and its content being unnecessarily loaded in memory.
* Refactoring of the crate - Config is extracted to its struct file.
Repetitive blocks of code are dried and nested conditionals are
flattened.

* The `$nu.config-path` variable either shows the default configuration file (or the custom one, if given)
* We can now run end to end tests with finer grained control (currently, since this is baseline work, standard out) This will allow to check things like exit status, assert the contents with a format, etc)

* remove parking_lot crate from nu-data as it is no longer being used
* remove commented out code from parse.rs
* remove commented out code from scope.rs
The autoenv logic mutates environment variables in the running session as
it operates and decides what to do for trusted directories containing `.nu-env`
files. Few of the ways to interact with it were all in a single test function.
We separate out all the ways that were done in the single test function to document
it better. This will greatly help once we start refactoring our way out from setting
environment variables this way to just setting them to `Scope`.
This is part of an on-going effort to keep variables (`PATH` and `ENV`)
in our `Scope` and rely on it for everything related to variables.
We expect to move away from setting (`std::*`) envrironment variables in the current
running process. This is non-trivial since we need to handle cases from vars
coming in from the outside world, prioritize, and also compare to the ones
we have both stored in memory and in configuration files.
Also to send out our in-memory (in `Scope`) variables properly to external
programs once we no longer rely on `std::env` vars from the running process.
* 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).
* Further clean up the lexer
- Consolidate the logic of the various token builders into a single type
- Improve and clean up the event-driven BlockParser
- Clean up comment parsing. Comments now contain their original leading
whitespace as well as trailing whitespace, and know how to move some
leading whitespace back into the body based on how the lexer decides
to dedent the comments. This preserves the original whitespace
information while still making it straight-forward to eliminate leading
whitespace in help comments.

* 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
* move basic_shell_manager to nu-engine
* move basic_evaluation_context to nu-engine
* fix failing test in feature which commands/classified/external.rs
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.

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.

Refactored out most of internal work for summarizing data opening
the door for generating charts from it. A model is introduced
to hold information needed for a summary, Histogram command is
an example of a partial usage. This is the beginning.
Removed implicit arithmetic traits on Value and Primitive to avoid
mixed types panics. The std operations traits can't fail and we
can't guarantee that. We can handle gracefully now since compute_values
was introduced after the parser changes four months ago. The handling
logic should be taken care of either explicitly or in compute_values.
The zero identity trait was also removed (and implementing this forced
us to also implement Add, Mult, etc)
Also: the `math` operations now remove in the output if a given column is not computable:

This commit eliminates the `which` crate in favour of `ichwh`, which deals
better with permissions by not dealing with them at all! This is closer to the
behaviour of `which` in many shells. Permission checks are then left up to the
caller to deal with.

* Upgrade futures, async-stream, and futures_codec
These were the last three dependencies on futures-preview. `nu` itself
is now fully dependent on `futures@0.3`, as opposed to `futures-preview`
alpha.
Because the update to `futures` from `0.3.0-alpha.19` to `0.3.0` removed
the `Stream` implementation of `VecDeque` ([changelog][changelog]), most
commands that convert a `VecDeque` to an `OutputStream` broke and had to
be fixed.
The current solution is to now convert `VecDeque`s to a `Stream` via
`futures::stream::iter`. However, it may be useful for `futures` to
create an `IntoStream` trait, implemented on the `std::collections` (or
really any `IntoIterator`). If something like this happends, it may be
worthwhile to update the trait implementations on `OutputStream` and
refactor these commands again.
While upgrading `futures_codec`, we remove a custom implementation of
`LinesCodec`, as one has been added to the library. There's also a small
refactor to make the stream output more idiomatic.

Restructure and streamline token expansion
The purpose of this commit is to streamline the token expansion code, by
removing aspects of the code that are no longer relevant, removing
pointless duplication, and eliminating the need to pass the same
arguments to `expand_syntax`.
The first big-picture change in this commit is that instead of a handful
of `expand_` functions, which take a TokensIterator and ExpandContext, a
smaller number of methods on the `TokensIterator` do the same job.
The second big-picture change in this commit is fully eliminating the
coloring traits, making coloring a responsibility of the base expansion
implementations. This also means that the coloring tracer is merged into
the expansion tracer, so you can follow a single expansion and see how
the expansion process produced colored tokens.
One side effect of this change is that the expander itself is marginally
more error-correcting. The error correction works by switching from
structured expansion to `BackoffColoringMode` when an unexpected token
is found, which guarantees that all spans of the source are colored, but
may not be the most optimal error recovery strategy.
That said, because `BackoffColoringMode` only extends as far as a
closing delimiter (`)`, `]`, `}`) or pipe (`|`), it does result in
fairly granular correction strategy.
The current code still produces an `Err` (plus a complete list of
colored shapes) from the parsing process if any errors are encountered,
but this could easily be addressed now that the underlying expansion is
error-correcting.
This commit also colors any spans that are syntax errors in red, and
causes the parser to include some additional information about what
tokens were expected at any given point where an error was encountered,
so that completions and hinting could be more robust in the future.

This commit changes the way we shell out externals when using the `"$it"` argument. Also pipes per row to an external's stdin if no `"$it"` argument is present for external commands.
Further separation of logic (preparing the external's command arguments, getting the data for piping, emitting values, spawning processes) will give us a better idea for lower level details regarding external commands until we can find the right abstractions for making them more generic and unify within the pipeline calling logic of Nu internal's and external's.
* Detect built-in commands passed as args to `which`
This expands the built-in `which` command to detect nushell commands
that may have the same name as a binary in the path.
* Allow which to interpret multiple arguments
Previously, it would discard any argument besides the first. This allows
`which` to process multiple arguments. It also makes the output a stream
of rows.
* Use map to build the output
* Add boolean column for builtins
* Use macros for entry creation shortcuts
* Process command args and use async_stream
In order to use `ichwh`, I'll need to use async_stream. But in order to
avoid lifetime errors with that, I have to process the command args
before using them. I'll admit I don't fully understand what is going on
with the `args.process(...)` function, but it works.
* Use `ichwh` for path searching
This commit transitions from `which` to `ichwh`. The path search is now
done asynchronously.
* Enable the `--all` flag on `which`
* Make `which` respect external commands
Escaped commands passed to wich (e.g., `which "^ls"`), are now searched
before builtins.
* Fix clippy warnings
This commit resolves two warnings from clippy, in light of #1142.
* Update Cargo.lock to get new `ichwh` version
`ichwh@0.2.1` has support for local paths.
* Add documentation for command
* Manifests check. Ignore doctests for now.
* We continue with refactorings towards the separation of concerns between
crates. `nu_plugin_inc` and `nu_plugin_str` common test helpers usage
has been refactored into `nu-plugin` value test helpers.
Inc also uses the new API for integration tests.
This commit contains two improvements:
- Support for a Range syntax (and a corresponding Range value)
- Work towards a signature syntax
Implementing the Range syntax resulted in cleaning up how operators in
the core syntax works. There are now two kinds of infix operators
- tight operators (`.` and `..`)
- loose operators
Tight operators may not be interspersed (`$it.left..$it.right` is a
syntax error). Loose operators require whitespace on both sides of the
operator, and can be arbitrarily interspersed. Precedence is left to
right in the core syntax.
Note that delimited syntax (like `( ... )` or `[ ... ]`) is a single
token node in the core syntax. A single token node can be parsed from
beginning to end in a context-free manner.
The rule for `.` is `<token node>.<member>`. The rule for `..` is
`<token node>..<token node>`.
Loose operators all have the same syntactic rule: `<token
node><space><loose op><space><token node>`.
The second aspect of this pull request is the beginning of support for a
signature syntax. Before implementing signatures, a necessary
prerequisite is for the core syntax to support multi-line programs.
That work establishes a few things:
- `;` and newlines are handled in the core grammar, and both count as
"separators"
- line comments begin with `#` and continue until the end of the line
In this commit, multi-token productions in the core grammar can use
separators interchangably with spaces. However, I think we will
ultimately want a different rule preventing separators from occurring
before an infix operator, so that the end of a line is always
unambiguous. This would avoid gratuitous differences between modules and
repl usage.
We already effectively have this rule, because otherwise `x<newline> |
y` would be a single pipeline, but of course that wouldn't work.
Previously, external words accidentally used
ExpansionRule::new().allow_external_command(), when it should have been
ExpansionRule::new().allow_external_word().
External words are the broadest category in the parser, and are the
appropriate category for external arguments. This was just a mistake.
This was achieved by deleting Cargo.lock
and letting a recent Cargo nightly re-create
it. Support for the format was already
introduced in Rust 1.38, but currently,
stable releases of Cargo only retain it
if encountered but don't generate such
files by default.
The new format is smaller, better suited to
prevent merge conflicts and generates smaller
diffs at dependency updates, leading to
smaller git history.
You can read more about it in this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/7070
This commit extracts five new crates:
- nu-source, which contains the core source-code handling logic in Nu,
including Text, Span, and also the pretty.rs-based debug logic
- nu-parser, which is the parser and expander logic
- nu-protocol, which is the bulk of the types and basic conveniences
used by plugins
- nu-errors, which contains ShellError, ParseError and error handling
conveniences
- nu-textview, which is the textview plugin extracted into a crate
One of the major consequences of this refactor is that it's no longer
possible to `impl X for Spanned<Y>` outside of the `nu-source` crate, so
a lot of types became more concrete (Value became a concrete type
instead of Spanned<Value>, for example).
This also turned a number of inherent methods in the main nu crate into
plain functions (impl Value {} became a bunch of functions in the
`value` namespace in `crate::data::value`).
This commit extracts Tag, Span, Text, as well as source-related debug
facilities into a new crate called nu_source.
This change is much bigger than one might have expected because the
previous code relied heavily on implementing inherent methods on
`Tagged<T>` and `Spanned<T>`, which is no longer possible.
As a result, this change creates more concrete types instead of using
`Tagged<T>`. One notable example: Tagged<Value> became Value, and Value
became UntaggedValue.
This change clarifies the intent of the code in many places, but it does
make it a big change.
The original purpose of this PR was to modernize the external parser to
use the new Shape system.
This commit does include some of that change, but a more important
aspect of this change is an improvement to the expansion trace.
Previous commit 6a7c00ea adding trace infrastructure to the syntax coloring
feature. This commit adds tracing to the expander.
The bulk of that work, in addition to the tree builder logic, was an
overhaul of the formatter traits to make them more general purpose, and
more structured.
Some highlights:
- `ToDebug` was split into two traits (`ToDebug` and `DebugFormat`)
because implementations needed to become objects, but a convenience
method on `ToDebug` didn't qualify
- `DebugFormat`'s `fmt_debug` method now takes a `DebugFormatter` rather
than a standard formatter, and `DebugFormatter` has a new (but still
limited) facility for structured formatting.
- Implementations of `ExpandSyntax` need to produce output that
implements `DebugFormat`.
Unlike the highlighter changes, these changes are fairly focused in the
trace output, so these changes aren't behind a flag.
* Moves off of draining between filters. Instead, the sink will pull on the stream, and will drain element-wise. This moves the whole stream to being lazy.
* Adds ctrl-c support and connects it into some of the key points where we pull on the stream. If a ctrl-c is detect, we immediately halt pulling on the stream and return to the prompt.
* Moves away from having a SourceMap where anchor locations are stored. Now AnchorLocation is kept directly in the Tag.
* To make this possible, split tag and span. Span is largely used in the parser and is copyable. Tag is now no longer copyable.
This commit adds the ability to work on features behind a feature flag
that won't be included in normal builds of nu.
These features are not exposed as Cargo features, as they reflect
incomplete features that are not yet stable.
To create a feature, add it to `features.toml`:
```toml
[hintsv1]
description = "Adding hints based on error states in the highlighter"
enabled = false
```
Each feature in `features.toml` becomes a feature flag accessible to `cfg`:
```rs
println!("hintsv1 is enabled");
```
By default, features are enabled based on the value of the `enabled` field.
You can also enable a feature from the command line via the
`NUSHELL_ENABLE_FLAGS` environment variable:
```sh
$ NUSHELL_ENABLE_FLAGS=hintsv1 cargo run
```
You can enable all flags via `NUSHELL_ENABLE_ALL_FLAGS`.
This commit also updates the CI setup to run the build with all flags off and
with all flags on. It also extracts the linting test into its own
parallelizable test, which means it doesn't need to run together with every
other test anymore.
When working on a feature, you should also add tests behind the same flag. A
commit is mergable if all tests pass with and without the flag, allowing
incomplete commits to land on master as long as the incomplete code builds and
passes tests.
The main thrust of this (very large) commit is an overhaul of the
expansion system.
The parsing pipeline is:
- Lightly parse the source file for atoms, basic delimiters and pipeline
structure into a token tree
- Expand the token tree into a HIR (high-level intermediate
representation) based upon the baseline syntax rules for expressions
and the syntactic shape of commands.
Somewhat non-traditionally, nu doesn't have an AST at all. It goes
directly from the token tree, which doesn't represent many important
distinctions (like the difference between `hello` and `5KB`) directly
into a high-level representation that doesn't have a direct
correspondence to the source code.
At a high level, nu commands work like macros, in the sense that the
syntactic shape of the invocation of a command depends on the
definition of a command.
However, commands do not have the ability to perform unrestricted
expansions of the token tree. Instead, they describe their arguments in
terms of syntactic shapes, and the expander expands the token tree into
HIR based upon that definition.
For example, the `where` command says that it takes a block as its first
required argument, and the description of the block syntactic shape
expands the syntax `cpu > 10` into HIR that represents
`{ $it.cpu > 10 }`.
This commit overhauls that system so that the syntactic shapes are
described in terms of a few new traits (`ExpandSyntax` and
`ExpandExpression` are the primary ones) that are more composable than
the previous system.
The first big win of this new system is the addition of the `ColumnPath`
shape, which looks like `cpu."max ghz"` or `package.version`.
Previously, while a variable path could look like `$it.cpu."max ghz"`,
the tail of a variable path could not be easily reused in other
contexts. Now, that tail is its own syntactic shape, and it can be used
as part of a command's signature.
This cleans up commands like `inc`, `add` and `edit` as well as
shorthand blocks, which can now look like `| where cpu."max ghz" > 10`
Kind of touches on #356 by integrating the Starship prompt directly into the shell.
Not finished yet and has surfaced a potential bug in rustyline anyway. It depends on https://github.com/starship/starship/pull/509 being merged so the Starship prompt can be used as a library.
I could have tackled #356 completely and implemented a full custom prompt feature but I felt this was a simpler approach given that Starship is both written in Rust so shelling out isn't necessary and it already has a bunch of useful features built in.
However, I would understand if it would be preferable to just scrap integrating Starship directly and instead implement a custom prompt system which would facilitate simply shelling out to Starship.
Rids us of crossbeam v0.5 and lots of other crates.
For most users this only effects Cargo.lock though,
as rust-argon2 is only compiled when targeting
redox.
This commit migrates Value's numeric types to BigInt and BigDecimal. The
basic idea is that overflow errors aren't great in a shell environment,
and not really necessary.
The main immediate consequence is that new errors can occur when
serializing Nu values to other formats. You can see this in changes to
the various serialization formats (JSON, TOML, etc.). There's a new
`CoerceInto` trait that uses the `ToPrimitive` trait from `num_traits`
to attempt to coerce a `BigNum` or `BigDecimal` into a target type, and
produces a `RangeError` (kind of `ShellError`) if the coercion fails.
Another possible future consequence is that certain performance-critical
numeric operations might be too slow. If that happens, we can introduce
specialized numeric types to help improve the performance of those
situations, based on the real-world experience.
This commit is more substantial than it looks: there was basically no
real support for decimals before, and that impacted values all the way
through.
I also made Size contain a decimal instead of an integer (`1.6kb` is a
reasonable thing to type), which impacted a bunch of code.
The biggest impact of this commit is that it creates many more possible
ways for valid nu types to fail to serialize as toml, json, etc. which
typically can't support the full range of Decimal (or Bigint, which I
also think we should support). This commit makes to-toml fallible, and a
similar effort is necessary for the rest of the serializations.
We also need to figure out how to clearly communicate to users what has
happened, but failing to serialize to toml seems clearly superior to me
than weird errors in basic math operations.
This ended up being a bit of a yak shave. The basic idea in this commit is to
expand `~` in paths, but only in paths.
The way this is accomplished is by doing the expansion inside of the code that
parses literal syntax for `SyntaxType::Path`.
As a quick refresher: every command is entitled to expand its arguments in a
custom way. While this could in theory be used for general-purpose macros,
today the expansion facility is limited to syntactic hints.
For example, the syntax `where cpu > 0` expands under the hood to
`where { $it.cpu > 0 }`. This happens because the first argument to `where`
is defined as a `SyntaxType::Block`, and the parser coerces binary expressions
whose left-hand-side looks like a member into a block when the command is
expecting one.
This is mildly more magical than what most programming languages would do,
but we believe that it makes sense to allow commands to fine-tune the syntax
because of the domain nushell is in (command-line shells).
The syntactic expansions supported by this facility are relatively limited.
For example, we don't allow `$it` to become a bare word, simply because the
command asks for a string in the relevant position. That would quickly
become more confusing than it's worth.
This PR adds a new `SyntaxType` rule: `SyntaxType::Path`. When a command
declares a parameter as a `SyntaxType::Path`, string literals and bare
words passed as an argument to that parameter are processed using the
path expansion rules. Right now, that only means that `~` is expanded into
the home directory, but additional rules are possible in the future.
By restricting this expansion to a syntactic expansion when passed as an
argument to a command expecting a path, we avoid making `~` a generally
reserved character. This will also allow us to give good tab completion
for paths with `~` characters in them when a command is expecting a path.
In order to accomplish the above, this commit changes the parsing functions
to take a `Context` instead of just a `CommandRegistry`. From the perspective
of macro expansion, you can think of the `CommandRegistry` as a dictionary
of in-scope macros, and the `Context` as the compile-time state used in
expansion. This could gain additional functionality over time as we find
more uses for the expansion system.
