This is another Must Have upgrade, because I screwed up the last one ;-)
- Added -ParameterName parameter to filter returned parameters
- Added custom ToString() implementation to support -Like and -Match on the output
- Enumerate the Parameters of a command by ParameterSet, including DynamicParameters
- Now uses FormatData so the output is objects
- Added calculation of shortest names to the aliases (borrowed from Shay Levy http://poshcode.org/1982)
- #Requires -version 2.0
- #.Synopsis
- # Enumerates the parameters of one or more commands
- #.Notes
- # With many thanks to Hal Rottenberg, Oisin Grehan and Shay Levy

- # - Fixed a major bug which caused Get-Parameters to delete all the parameters from the CommandInfo
- # Version 2.3 - July 29, 2010 - By Joel Bennett (This Version)
- # - Added a ToString ScriptMethod which allows queries like:
- # $parameters = Get-Parameter Get-Process; $parameters -match "Name"
- # Version 2.4 - July 29, 2010 - By Joel Bennett (This Version)
- # - CHANGED "Name" to CommandName
- # - ADDED ParameterName parameter to allow filtering parameters
- # - Fixed bug in 2.3 and 2.2 with dynamic parameters
