Before Nu version 0.67, Nu [used to](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2022-08-16-nushell-0_67.html#windows-cmd-exe-changes-rgwood) use CMD.EXE to launch external commands, which meant that the above builtins could be run as an `^external` command. As of version 0.67, however, Nu no longer uses CMD.EXE to launch externals, meaning the above builtins cannot be run from within Nu, except for `ASSOC`, `DIR`, `ECHO`, `FTYPE`, `MKLINK`, `START`, `VER`, and `VOL`, which are explicitly allowed to be interpreted by CMD if no executable by that name exists.
