A small follow-up to #7221. This changes the `catch` block from a block to a closure, so that it can access the error returned from the `try` block. This helps with a common scenario: "the `try` block failed, and I want to log why it failed." ### Example  ### Future Work Nu's closure syntax is a little awkward here; it might be nicer to allow something like `catch err { print $err }`. We discussed this on Discord and it will require special parser code similar to what's already done for `for`. I'm not feeling confident enough in my parser knowledge to make that change; I will spend some more time looking at the `for` code but I doubt I will be able to implement anything in the next few days. Volunteers welcome.
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.
