PowerShell 7.3 Experimental Features

[SteveL-MSFT]

Use Get-ExperimentalFeature to get a list of the currently enabled features. You might need to explicitly enable them to use them:

get-experimentalfeature | enable-experimentalfeature

We really appreciate your feedback if the experimental features are meeting your expectations so we can decide if they are ready to become stable (design changes become breaking changes at that time), not useful or not designed correctly (remove), or should stay experimental to get more data. For any problems, please open a new issue and indicate in the title the name of the experimental feature.

However, if you have had an opportunity to try an experimental feature and you like it or feel it works as described and makes sense, please give the features listed below a thumbs up so we can use that to help make the decision to move them to stable.

Note that some specific experimental features which we know need more enhancement or depends on another feature in PowerShell that needs enhancement will not be listed here as they are not ready to be stable.

Only just realized I opened this in PowerShell-RFC repo and not PowerShell repo. Future ones will be in PowerShell repo.
