This PR (based on #15249 and #15248 because it mentions them) adds extra documentation to the main polars command outlining the main datatypes that are used by the plugin. The lack of a description of the types involved in `polars xxx` commands was quite confusing to me when I started using the plugin and this is a first try improving it. I didn't find a better place but please let me know what you think.
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
