Powershell: Request: call it `posh` rather than `pwsh`
Heya!
Powershell 6 is pwsh. But folks in the Powershell community have called it posh for more than a decade now. It would be cool for the command to do the same.

@mikemaccana What do you mean by CALL here ? are you referring to the executable name(pwsh.exe) ?

@kvprasoon Yep, call as in 'name by which you call it'.
It should be posh because:
- it's posh.

There are reasons why we didn't(were not able to) use posh. See this.

@mikemaccana within the Community, people call it posh and as far as I'm concerned pwsh is pronounced posh. However, as @kvprasoon pointed out, we've been through this discussion and we couldn't use posh literally as it's an existing shell
