Bash $* and $@ (2017)

I've been writing a lot of Powershell lately, and my only real gripe with it is that it seems suspiciously like not being Posix compliant in any way was a design goal.

I agree with the idea of breaking backwards compatibility, but Powershell honestly has enough core design issues that it itself is starting to feel like it needs a major backwards-incompatible update.

Major backwards-incompatible update have come recently (Powershell Core).

What did they break? Powershell core just doesn't include Win32, but that's fine, it runs on Linux and macOS and they don't need Win32.

Powershell 7 has a full Win32.

I.e. curl command now means actual curl, not Invoke-webrequest
