# Description
Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of
136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct
also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements).
This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap.
Pro:
- Value now needs just 80 bytes
- Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines)
Con:
- More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error`
- More heap fragmentation
- Potential for additional required memcopies
# Further code changes
Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large
match.
# User-Facing Changes
None for regular users.
Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use
`nu-protocol`
Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads.
**Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume
of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many
values are held in memory.

# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.
Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent use of
`ShellError` variants.
- Name fields on `ShellError::OperatorOverflow`
- Name fields on `ShellError::PipelineMismatch`
- Add doc to `ShellError::OnlySupportsThisInputType`
- Name `ShellError::OnlySupportsThisInputType`
- Name field on `ShellError::PipelineEmpty`
- Comment about issues with `TypeMismatch*`
- Fix a few `exp_input_type`s
- Name fields on `ShellError::InvalidRange`

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

Enhancement of new `fill` command (#7846) to handle content including
ANSI escape codes for formatting or multi-code-point Unicode grapheme
clusters.
In both of these cases, the content is (many) bytes longer than its
visible length, and `fill` was counting the extra bytes so not adding
enough fill characters.
# Description
This script:
```rust
# the teacher emoji `\u{1F9D1}\u{200D}\u{1F3EB}` is 3 code points, but only 1 print position wide.
echo "This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`"
$"\u{1F9D1}\u{200D}\u{1F3EB}" | fill -c "+" -w 3 -a "c"
echo "This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`"
$"(ansi green)a(ansi reset)" | fill -c "+" -w 3 -a c
echo ""
```
Was producing this output:
```rust
This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`
🧑🏫
This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`
a
```
After this PR, it produces this output:
```rust
This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`
+🧑🏫+
This output should be 3 print positions wide, with leading and trailing `+`
+a+
```
# User-Facing Changes
Users may have to undo fixes they may have introduced to work around the
former behavior. I have one such in my prompt string that I can now
revert.

# After Submitting
`fill` command not documented in the book, and it still talks about `str
lpad/rpad`. I'll fix.
Note added dependency on a new library `print-positions`, which is an
iterator that yields a complete print position (cluster + Ansi sequence)
per call. Should this be vendored?
# Description
The point of this command is to allow you to be able to format ints,
floats, filesizes, and strings with an alignment, padding, and a fill
character, as strings. It's meant to take the place of `str lpad` and
`str rpad`.
```
> help fill
Fill and Align
Search terms: display, render, format, pad, align
Usage:
> fill {flags}
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-w, --width <Int> - The width of the output. Defaults to 1
-a, --alignment <String> - The alignment of the output. Defaults to Left (Left(l), Right(r), Center(c/m), MiddleRight(cr/mr))
-c, --character <String> - The character to fill with. Defaults to ' ' (space)
Signatures:
<number> | fill -> <string>
<string> | fill -> <string>
Examples:
Fill a string on the left side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a l -c '─' -w 15
Fill a string on the right side to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a r -c '─' -w 15
Fill a string on both sides to a width of 15 with the character '─'
> 'nushell' | fill -a m -c '─' -w 15
Fill a number on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
> 1 | fill --alignment right --character 0 --width 5
Fill a filesize on the left side to a width of 5 with the character '0'
> 1kib | fill --alignment middle --character 0 --width 10
```
# User-Facing Changes
Deprecated `str lpad` and `str rpad`.
