Description

We don't really have a good explanation or resource to point to on metahacks. Currently we have the "metahack solutions" hackmd, but some of these aren't real solutions possible in current Nushell, and it's mostly targeted towards integrators. We should have a simpler example where an autoload is generated in config.nu.

Research direction

Review the existing “metahack solutions” HackMD and the website’s cookbook structure first. Create a simpler explanation using an autoload generated in config.nu, while ensuring the example reflects metahacks currently possible in Nushell. Done means the cookbook page clearly explains the concept and provides a usable example.
