Update docs to explain how commands can be written to span multiple lines #4303
Description
Issue Details
PR 9614 adds two new scenarios where PowerShell scripters can span commands across multiple lines: when using named parameters, and when using splatting. This is very closely related to issue #3746. Documentation should be updated to explain how commands can be written to span multiple lines, as well as what is required to invoke a command whose name starts with a dash in some scenarios.

Kirk Munro (@KirkMunro) has any part of this feature been merged into the v7 code branch? I see that PowerShell/PowerShell#8938 was merged but I cannot get your examples to work in 7.0.0-preview.3.

I'm going to close this for now because some of the direction I was going in on that PR has changed and I'm waiting for more progress/feedback/conclusion on the associated RFC.
Just focus on #3746 because that was merged and works in preview.3. If you can't get that working, let me know -- I know it works because I already use it.
