Lists recognize string as unknown command

[dougg0k]

Describe the bug

For whatever reason, when building a list/array, and the string put there has a key=value, it gives an error.

Only seem to have if there is no space. Same with =number/letter.

nu ✗ let list = ["VAR=1"]
Error: nu::parser::unknown_command

  × Unknown command.
   ╭─[entry #25:1:12]
 1 │ let list = ["VAR=1"]
   ·            ────┬────
   ·                ╰── unknown command
   ╰────

How to reproduce

You can straight type let list = ["VAR=1"] or put into a file.

Expected behavior

To just be a string, even more so when in between quotes.

Seems like a bug buy here's a work-around. Use spaces around items in your list.

❯ let list = [ "VAR=1" ]
❯ $list
╭───┬───────╮
│ 0 │ VAR=1 │
╰───┴───────╯

Yeah, that seems to be the case with a comment too. But only if there is a space in the comment.

let list = [
  # "VAR1=1",
  "VAR2=2",
  "VAR3=3",
]
