Ok, just a small one today. You won’t save any typing with this, as the actual code is just one line, and not much longer than the function name. But I think it looks nicer, and it’s easier to remember. Besides, it looks more like “proper” PowerShell.
This function takes input and converts it to a ScriptBlock. Nothing more, nothing less.
