$PSStyle polyfill forWindows PowerShell

	# $PSStyle polyfill for Windows PowerShell:
	# When run on a PS v7.2+ system, generates source code for Windows PowerShell
	# that creates a nested ordered hashtable that mimics the v7.2+ $PSStyle object,
	# albeit only with respect to the properties with general-purpose ANSI (VT)
	# escape sequences, such as $PSStyle.Italic and $PSStyle.Foreground.Yellow
	#
	# Simply copy and paste this snippet and execute it in a PowerShell 7.2+ session,
	# and it will output source code for Windows PowerShell that defines $PSStyle.

Sample keybinding.json file for https://stackoverflow.com/a/75980711/45375

	// Content for a Visual Studio Code "keybindings.json" file.
	// To open your file for editing, use the command palette's "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)" command.
	// CAVEAT: You can copy and paste this file's content as-is to REPLACE your file's existing content
	// but in doing so you'll lose any PREEXISTING definitions.
	// To preserve any existing definitions, append everything inside "[" and "]" below to the preexisting
	// top-level "[" and "]" enclosure (a JSON array), and be sure to append a "," to the last preexisting object
	// inside the array before appending (or place the new objects at the top and append a "," to the second of
	// the two new objects).
	[
	// General definition for all shells except PowerShell.
