Steps to reproduce

Because the return type of ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashTable changed from [HashTable] to [OrderedHashtable], any code explicitly checking that the return type equals [Hashtable] using -eq (rather than -is) will likely break.

To avoid breaking existing code, consider reverting -AsHashtable functionality to return a [Hashtable] and adding a separate switch for -AsOrderedHashtable.

Expected behavior

> ('{ "name": "Id", "value": 1 }' | ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashTable).GetType() -eq [Hashtable]
True

Actual behavior

> ('{ "name": "Id", "value": 1 }' | ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashTable).GetType() -eq [Hashtable]
False
