# Description
This PR expands the `dtype` parameter of the `polars cast` command to
include `decimal<precision, scale>` type. Setting precision to "*" will
compel inferring the value. Note, however, setting scale to a
non-integer value will throw an explicit error (the underlying polars
crate assigns scale = 0 in such a case, but I opted for throwing an
error instead). .

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.
