.SYNOPSIS
    Inherits a Command
.DESCRIPTION
    Inherits a given command.
    
    This acts similarily to inheritance in Object Oriented programming.

    By default, inheriting a function will join the contents of that function with the -ScriptBlock.

    Your ScriptBlock will come first, so you can override any of the behavior of the underlying command.

    You can "abstractly" inherit a command, that is, inherit only the command's parameters.
    
    Inheritance can also be -Abstract.
    
    When you use Abstract inheritance, you get only the function definition and header from the inherited command.

    You can also -Override the command you are inheriting.

    This will add an [Alias()] attribute containing the original command name.

    One interesting example is overriding an application


.EXAMPLE
    Invoke-PipeScript {
        [inherit("Get-Command")]
        param()
    }
.EXAMPLE
    {
        [inherit("gh",Overload)]
        param()
        begin { "ABOUT TO CALL GH"}
        end { "JUST CALLED GH" }
    }.Transpile()
.EXAMPLE
    # Inherit Get-Transpiler abstractly and make it output the parameters passed in.
    {
        [inherit("Get-Transpiler", Abstract)]
        param() process { $psBoundParameters }
    }.Transpile()
.EXAMPLE
    {
        [inherit("Get-Transpiler", Dynamic, Abstract)]
        param()
    } | .>PipeScript
