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.
with the `help` command to explore and list all commands available.
Enter will also try to see if the location to be entered is an existing
Nu command, if it is it will let you inspect the command under `help`.
This provides baseline needed so we can iterate on it.
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.
The original intent of this patch was to remove more unwraps to reduce
panics. I then lost a ton of time to the fact that the playground isn't
in a temp directory (because of permissions issues on Windows).
This commit improves the test facilities to:
- use a tempdir for the playground
- change the playground API so you instantiate it with a block that
encloses the lifetime of the tempdir
- the block is called with a `dirs` argument that has `dirs.test()` and
other important directories that we were computing by hand all the time
- the block is also called with a `playground` argument that you can use
to construct files (it's the same `Playground` as before)
- change the nu! and nu_error! macros to produce output instead of
taking a variable binding
- change the nu! and nu_error! macros to do the cwd() transformation
internally
- change the nu! and nu_error! macros to take varargs at the end that
get interpolated into the running command
I didn't manage to finish porting all of the tests, so a bunch of tests
are currently commented out. That will need to change before we land
this patch.
