<#############################################################################
The TypePx module adds properties and methods to the most commonly used types to make common tasks easier. Using these type extensions together can provide an enhanced syntax in PowerShell that is both easier to read and self-documenting. TypePx also provides commands to manage type accelerators. Type acceleration also contributes to making scripting easier and they help produce more readable scripts, particularly when using a library of .NET classes that belong to the same namespace.

By default, Add-TypeAccelerator will add a type accelerator to the current session, overwriting the type accelerator if it already exists. You can use the NoClobber parameter to prevent Add-TypeAccelerator from overwriting a type accelerator that already exists. .INPUTS System.Type .OUTPUTS TypeAccelerator .NOTES To add accelerators for an entire namespace, use the Use-Namespace command. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Add-TypeAccelerator -Name CommandMetadata -Type System.Management.Automation.CommandMetadata PS C:\> New-Object -TypeName CommandMetadata -ArgumentList (Get-Command -Name Stop-Service) This command adds a type accelerator for the System.Management.Automation.CommandMetadata class and then uses that accelerator to get the command metadata for the Stop-Service command. .LINK Get-TypeAccelerator .LINK Remove-TypeAccelerator .LINK Set-TypeAccelerator .LINK Use-Namespace #> function Add-TypeAccelerator { [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] [OutputType('TypeAccelerator')] param( # The name of the type accelerator.
