        ##
        ## IgnoreHiddenShares - Ignore hidden UNC shares (such as \\COMPUTER\ADMIN$)
        ## RelativePaths - When expanding filenames and paths, $true forces PowerShell
        ## to replace paths with relative paths. When $false, forces PowerShell to
        ## replace them with absolute paths. By default, PowerShell makes this
        ## decision based on what you had typed so far before invoking tab completion.
        ## LiteralPaths - Prevents PowerShell from replacing special file characters
        ## (such as square brackets and back-ticks) with their escaped equivalent.

            ## In this simple example, look at the text being supplied.
            ## We could do advanced analysis of the AST here if we wanted,
