thoughts

nupm-porcelain demonstrates how you can augment packages independently with modules

nupm is a helper for nushells use command, it helps use find modules by being a path manager and module installer

nu-complete only passes a single string between its caller. lookup keys have to be embeded as an enumeration and rehydrated once the value is selected
