#>

Write-InformationColored.ps1

#Requires -Version 5.0
using namespace System.Management.Automation

<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Writes messages to the information stream, optionally with
        color when written to the host.

    .DESCRIPTION
        An alternative to Write-Host which will write to the information stream
        and the host (optionally in colors specified) but will honor the
        $InformationPreference of the calling context.

        In PowerShell 5.0+ Write-Host calls through to Write-Information but
        will _always_ treats $InformationPreference as 'Continue', so the caller
        cannot use other options to the preference variable as intended.
