@nightroman but your tasks don't have "inputs" (source) and "outputs" (destination) -- so doing two builds in a row does all the work twice?

So, yeah, @bcdady, I've been telling people that the reason they want to break things up into many files is because they don't have a good editor with "goto" syntax...

For what it's worth, if the module's not open source (at least within your company), some of these things are a substantially different conversation. Assuming it is open source, if...

To be fair, the practice of having a _different_ organization in the **project** than in the **package** was my **original point.** A year or more ago we talked #22 about...

The point is that you're suggesting people write a variable assignment as "documentation" But what you're documenting is "how PowerShell works" ... not "how my function works" The only documentation...

It took you only seven posts to switch from trying to convince me there's a good reason for this to claiming you know best based on your particular background. Not...
