Summary of new feature

I believe this is mainly in help examples but some commands still have references to aliases in them.
Eg. Select instead of Select-Object.

With this being a hot topic around PS Core, would you be open to a PR cleaning these up? I didn't want to just submit the PR without any discussion.

Proposed technical details (if applicable)

makes perfect sense and if there is an alias around it needs to be removed but .... I don't see them !?

[potatoqualitee]

he is talking about the examples, niph. i do use Select and Where wihout -Object a lot cuz of SQL Server. Lemem see how Lee Holmes does it and we'll go from there

I'm the same Chrissy, its too easy. There are a few references in code though:

• https://github.com/cporteou/dbatools/blob/master/functions/Get-DbaSqlProductKey.ps1#L213
• https://github.com/cporteou/dbatools/blob/master/functions/Get-DbaMaintenanceSolutionLog.ps1#L196
• https://github.com/cporteou/dbatools/blob/master/internal/Invoke-DbaDatabaseCorruption.ps1#L136
• https://github.com/cporteou/dbatools/blob/master/tests/Get-DbaSqlModule.Tests.ps1#L17
• https://github.com/cporteou/dbatools/blob/master/tests/Get-DbaSqlModule.Tests.ps1#L21

I can chuck them all in a PR to make it easier to view though.
