# Description
"can't follow stream paths" errors have always been a bit scary and
obnoxious because they give no information about what happens...

in this PR i try to slightly improve the error message by telling if the
stream was empty or not and give span information when available.

# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
> update value (get value)
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access

  × Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ update value (get value)
   ·               ─┬─
   ·                ╰── empty pipeline doesn't support cell paths
   ╰────
```
```nushell
> ^echo "foo" | get 0
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access

  × Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │ ^echo "foo" | get 0
   ·  ──┬─
   ·    ╰── external stream doesn't support cell paths
   ╰────
```

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.
