`left =~ right` return true if left contains right, using Rust's
`String::contains`. `!~` is the negated version.
A new `apply_operator` function is added which decouples evaluation from
`Value::compare`. This returns a `Value` and opens the door to
implementing `+` for example, though it wouldn't be useful immediately.
The `operator!` macro had to be changed slightly as it would choke on
`~` in arguments.

With the proposed changes, these tests now become invalid. If the first line is
to be counted as data, then converting the headers to ints will fail. Removing
the headers and instead treating the first line as data, however, reflects the
new, desired mode of operation.
tables and able to work with them for data processing & viewing
purposes. At the moment, certain ways to process said tables we
are able to view a histogram of a given column.
As usage matures, we may find certain core commands that could
be used ergonomically when working with tables on Nu.
a joy. Fundamentally we embrace functional programming principles for
transforming the dataset from any format picked up by Nu. This table
processing "primitive" commands will build up and make pipelines
composable with data processing capabilities allowing us the valuate,
reduce, and map, the tables as far as even composing this declartively.
On this regard, `split-by` expects some table with grouped data and we
can use it further in interesting ways (Eg. collecting labels for
visualizing the data in charts and/or suit it for a particular chart
of our interest).
This commit should finish the `coloring_in_tokens` feature, which moves
the shape accumulator into the token stream. This allows rollbacks of
the token stream to also roll back any shapes that were added.
This commit also adds a much nicer syntax highlighter trace, which shows
all of the paths the highlighter took to arrive at a particular coloring
output. This change is fairly substantial, but really improves the
understandability of the flow. I intend to update the normal parser with
a similar tracing view.
In general, this change also fleshes out the concept of "atomic" token
stream operations.
A good next step would be to try to make the parser more
error-correcting, using the coloring infrastructure. A follow-up step
would involve merging the parser and highlighter shapes themselves.
Previously, we would build a command that looked something like this:
<ex_cmd> "$it" "&&" "<ex_cmd>" "$it"
So that the "&&" and "<ex_cmd>" would also be arguments to the command,
instead of a chained command. This commit builds up a command string
that can be passed to an external shell.
* 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.
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`
