Improving Views (.view(s).ps1)

[StartAutomating]

.view.ps1 files have been supported for some time, and have generally been interpreted as a custom formatter for that file.

These have the potential to be significantly more useful if viewed thru the lens of extension methods.

• .view.ps1 should be exported into .types.ps1xml #231
• View Metadata should be exported into .types.ps1xml #232

They also have the potential to provide useful information about conditions, via a [ValidateScript] attribute.

• .view.ps1 should support conditions with [ValidateScript] #233
• .view.ps1 should support multiple views #234
