Go back to the roadmap.

i've been wanting to discuss this for while, so here we are 😋

one of the goal of the library is to relieve the main source base of rust commands by moving non-time-sensitive commands to the nu-std crate 👍

in #8311, we already have some ideas

• the help commands
• the "shell" commands
• the benchmark command
• the banner

now comes the question...

what could / should we move to the standard library? 😏

currently the following commands are in the process of being moved or have been:
👉 from the discord server:

• "Re-implement enter, shells, n and p commands" (see #standard-library)
  • add dirs command to std lib #8368
  • REFACTOR: remove the shell commands #8415
• a benchmark to wrap timeit in a multi-run loop ( see #cool-scripts)
  • add benchmark and test commands to the standard library #8696

👉 from GitHub

• move the help subcommands from rust to nushell and keep the main help in the rust implementation to still allow help -f ... everywhere.
  • print_help.nu from @jntrnr
  • standard library: implement help commands with $nu #8505
  • REFACTOR: remove the help commands #8611
  • bounty: divergences between built-in help and the implementations in nu-std #8813
  • std help improvements #8983: there are great ideas in this PR but due to the lack of contributor we closed it for now 😌

Note
comes from a comment from @kubouch in #8403

Ultimately, the help commands could be re-implemented in Nu code as a part of the standard library so that's also something to consider in the future.
