Unexplained phenomena: powerful tricks you likely didn't know were even possible
summary
Practical, specific PowerShell work: a pspx proxy-functions module that creates transparent shims with pre/post pipeline hooks and adds a -Property parameter to Export-Csv; a pending GitHub PR that implements errorAction Break to drop into the debugger on first error; demoed one‑liners that count files/folders and sum sizes, CSV-ish splitting into name/age/address, use of DebuggerHidden to keep shipped modules opaque, and pipeline‑by‑property parameter handling with runnable scripts.
