Description
Experimental feature flags is new to PSCore6.1. We are starting to have some features implemented behind the experimental flag. Currently, you have to pass -ListAvailable to Get-ExperimentalFeature to all the features and not just the enabled ones. For users new to experimental features, this seems non-obvious and it appears that there are no experimental features which limits how much feedback we can get. I would suggest removing the need for -ListAvailable as the user can easily filter enabled vs disabled ones.
After the user sees the available features, it's not obvious how to update their PowerShell settingsfile to enable the feature. They need to add something like:
{
"ExperimentalFeatures": [
"PSUseAbbreviationExpansion",
"PSImplicitRemotingBatching"
]
}To their config file. Seems like we need to add support for user config files instead of just system wide. A cmdlet to enable features (which message indicating the features are enabled after restart of PowerShell) as well as disabling features.
