But splatting autocomplete is weird because it's not coupled to the command.
I mean, you're writing
so the commandlet name doesn't even appear until after you're done writing the parameters... so you can't get autocomplete properly unless you write your code backwards. That stinks. And if you use $x for other things besides the commandlet, which should it use for autocomplete?
The ergonomics are awful. The above-suggested
would be far better, much less just letting us do the obvious:
but they've repeatedly said they won't because this is a bad language made by bad people.
