making an accessible version of Nushell

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Rich,

I had a quick look at nushell, and I won't spend time on that.

We have already many shells, no need for one more. I think that a POSIX
compliant shell is good enough and its output is already screen reader 
friendly
at least on a plain Linux console

Just my opinion, of course

Cheers,
Didier

> Nushell (https://www.nushell.sh) is a re-imagined shell for Linux (etc) systems.  There are a number of things to like about it, IMHO.  First, it attempts to handle program output as structured data.  This means that, for example, tabular output can be filtered, sorted, etc.  It is also being written in Rust, which should help to prevent a large class of security issues.

Happily, some work has already been done on this, mostly to support an online demo.
