/// The API for a Nushell plugin command
///
/// This is the trait that Nushell plugin commands must implement. The methods defined on
/// `PluginCommand` are invoked by [`serve_plugin`](crate::serve_plugin) during plugin registration
/// and execution.
///
/// The plugin command must be able to be safely shared between threads, so that multiple
/// invocations can be run in parallel. If interior mutability is desired, consider synchronization
/// primitives such as [mutexes](std::sync::Mutex) and [channels](std::sync::mpsc).
///
/// This version of the trait expects stream input and output. If you have a simple plugin that just
/// operates on plain values, consider using [`SimplePluginCommand`] instead.
///
/// # Examples
/// Basic usage:
/// ```
/// # use nu_plugin::*;
/// # use nu_protocol::{Signature, PipelineData, Type, Value, LabeledError};
/// struct LowercasePlugin;
/// struct Lowercase;
///
/// impl PluginCommand for Lowercase {
///     type Plugin = LowercasePlugin;
///
///     fn name(&self) -> &str {
///         "lowercase"
///     }
///
///     fn usage(&self) -> &str {
///         "Convert each string in a stream to lowercase"
///     }
///
///     fn signature(&self) -> Signature {
///         Signature::build(PluginCommand::name(self))
///             .input_output_type(Type::List(Type::String.into()), Type::List(Type::String.into()))
///     }
///
///     fn run(
///         &self,
///         plugin: &LowercasePlugin,
///         engine: &EngineInterface,
///         call: &EvaluatedCall,
///         input: PipelineData,
///     ) -> Result<PipelineData, LabeledError> {
///         let span = call.head;
///         Ok(input.map(move |value| {
///             value.as_str()
///                 .map(|string| Value::string(string.to_lowercase(), span))
///                 // Errors in a stream should be returned as values.
///                 .unwrap_or_else(|err| Value::error(err, span))
