Use Aliases in PowerShell Modules

This is useful when you want to maintain backward compatibility when renaming functions in a module so that old code can still use the old name.

Use Regions in PowerShell

I have verified that this works and the regions can be collapsed and expanded in Visual Studio Code 1.84.2 on 2024-01-05.

Notes:

• The hyphens and BEGIN/END are not necessary. Only the first #region item needs to have a name.
