Description
Continue #4216 to discuss improving the discoverability of PowerShell variables.
Problem: It is hard for users to discover PowerShell automatic (system) variables and get help (their description).
Idias:
- Enhance cmdlets to provide better discoverability, tab-completion, etc.
1.1. Get-Variable -AutomaticVariable/-PowerShell/-System/-Special / -PreferenceVariable
1.2 Get-Help -AutomaticVariable/-SpecialVariable / -PreferenceVariable Add new namespace $pspref or $psvar- Enhance the variable: provider with additional properties IsAutomatic and IsPreference.
