Show-Object cmdlet

[kilasuit]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user in the terminal I may have a variable that has lots of nested properties, therefore it would be good to get a UI similarly to what is available with the Show-Ast command in the ShowPSAst module written by @lzybkr as to be much more easily dig into it

Even if this is to begin with a Windows only thing, it would be a great help going forward for interactive troubleshooting of scripts / interactive workloads

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

a cmdlet that pops out a GUI that allows you to drill into the depths of a variable

This could be released as a module and not built in if easier overall, but having it would be a good step

I think a Show-Object cmdlet would make more sense for the noun. Terminal.GUI is supposed to have a new tree control that can be used.

Tee-hee. FYI, @tznind is a top-contributor to Terminal.Gui and the author of Terminal.Gui's Treeview control. He's also the author of Terminal.Gui's Table control which I am using for a rewrite of Out-ConsoleGridView.

Just a FYI - Show-Ast is based off of the Show-Object script in Windows PowerShell Cookbook, 3rd Edition by Lee Holmes.
