feat: Plugin support about eza HOT 3 OPEN

Not sure how relevant it is to mention a completely different tool in this repo, but you might like nushell. For example, I just wrote this little command that adds a line count to every file from ls (it generates some warnings, but that's fixable):

~/code/eza> let one = ls; $one | insert "lines" {|l| wc -l $l.name | parse "{n} {name}" | get n.0 }                                                     16-05-24 14:12:13

It's fairly easy to define a new command ls-lines or something that does this.

It serves a bit of a different purpose from eza, but if you need a tool where you want ls but enriched with your own data, it might be worth looking into. You can also do your own filtering and other computation. Not as pretty as eza though :)

Another option may be to one day support nushell "natively", so we can get nice columns and stuff when run in nushell, I think @PThorpe92 looked at it at some point, but IIRC it would require a lot of work. I do know there exists some snippet in the nushell discord for converting eza output to something nushell understands FWIW.

It would be nicer to offload this to the shell rather than us having to maintain a plugin system, also from like an ecosystem perspective, it seems more reasonable to have some universal language rather than over-specializing every single binary.
