function Where-PSItem {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Selects objects from a collection based on their values.

    .DESCRIPTION
        The `Where-PSItem` command selects objects that have particular values from the collection of objects that is passed to it. The default parameter set (without any arguments other than InputObject), is equivalent to `Where-Object { $_ }`. `Where-PSItem` is aliased as `?_`.

    .NOTES
        The `Where-PSItem` command is similar to the `Where-Object` command. One difference is that `Where-PSItem` operates on input object values whereas `Where-Object` operates on input object property values. Another difference is that `Where-PSItem` accepts the comparison value directly through each faux-operator parameter, whereas `Where-Object` accepts the comparison value through a `-Value` parameter rather than the faux-operator parameters.
