Add using () statement for automatic disposing

Dave Wyatt wrote a using-object in 2014. I still use it heavily: https://davewyatt.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/using-object-powershell-version-of-cs-using-statement/ - but yes, it suffers from some of the challenges you mention and isn't as flexible. I would just ask that you don't break it. :-)

This proposal would be more useful if there was a way for the using in the begin block to be Dispose()d in the end block. i.e.

begin {
	using $a = whatever
	...
}
process {
	...
}
end {
	...
	# $a gets Dispose()d here
}

@DerpMcDerp that’s what the clean block added in PowerShell 7.3 is great for!
