<#
.SYNOPSIS
    C# Template Transpiler.
.DESCRIPTION
    Allows PipeScript to Generate C#.

    Multiline comments with /*{}*/ will be treated as blocks of PipeScript.

    Multiline comments can be preceeded or followed by 'empty' syntax, which will be ignored.

    The C# Inline Transpiler will consider the following syntax to be empty:

    * ```String.Empty```
    * ```null```
    * ```""```
    * ```''```
.EXAMPLE
    .> {
        $CSharpLiteral = @'
namespace TestProgram/*{Get-Random}*/ {
    public static class Program {
        public static void Main(string[] args) {
            string helloMessage = /*{
                '"hello"', '"hello world"', '"hey there"', '"howdy"' | Get-Random
            }*/ string.Empty;
            System.Console.WriteLine(helloMessage);
        }
    }
}
'@

        [OutputFile(".\HelloWorld.ps1.cs")]$CSharpLiteral
    }

    $AddedFile = .> .\HelloWorld.ps1.cs
    $addedType = Add-Type -TypeDefinition (Get-Content $addedFile.FullName -Raw) -PassThru
    $addedType::Main(@())
.EXAMPLE
    // HelloWorld.ps1.cs
    namespace TestProgram {
        public static class Program {
            public static void Main(string[] args) {
                string helloMessage = /*{
                    '"hello"', '"hello world"', '"hey there"', '"howdy"' | Get-Random
                }*/ string.Empty;
                System.Console.WriteLine(helloMessage);
            }
        }
