is "destructuring deserialization and reserialization based on lines" really an aspect of the UNIX philosophy or just an implementation detail? I thought it was more about doing one thing and doing it well [1]. It could be argued that nushell follows the UNIX philosophy.

“This is the Unix philosophy: Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.”

Doug McIlroy (2003). The Art of Unix Programming: Basics of the Unix Philosophy

That said, I’m looking forward to testing our nushell!
