Suggestion: extend the -? parameter syntax to ask for more detailed help on demand, as a Get-Help shortcut #4137
Description
Using <cmdletOrFunction> -? is the equivalent of Get-Help <cmdletOrFunction>.
In order to get the -Detailed or -Full levels, you need to switch from -? to an entirely different command line based on Get-Help, which is inconvenient.
The following would ease the pain of that transition:
-
-??could be the equivalent ofGet-Help -Detailed -
-???could be the equivalent ofGet-Help -Full

This is one of those things that has bothered me, but I guess I learned to live with it. Alternatively we could use the syntax:
-? Detailed
-? Full
-? Examples
