tee changes the input

[j-xella]

Describe the bug

tee converts everything to lists. So:

• [ 1 2 3 ] | tee {} - output is the same as input, as already a list
• [ { a:b } ] | tee {} - output is the same as input, as table is a list

BUT !!!

• 1 | tee {} - input is a number, output is a list, with the number as the single element
• { a:b } | tee {} - input is a record, output is a table of one row

This happens not only to the output of tee, but also to the input that is passed to the closure

How to reproduce

Try the above examples, see the output.

Expected behavior

tee should not tamper with the data passed to it, but forward it as is.

Or is this an expected behaviour? Help doesn't mention it...

@devyn thoughts on this?

[devyn]

Yeah, someone else reported this a while ago. I didn't really intend for tee to be used on non-iterables, and it will probably require a separate code path to do this, but I think it makes sense.
