- Module auto-loading unexpectedly surfaces import-related verbose messages for modules with dependencies
- Bypassing translation of PSDrive-based path arguments for external (native) executables is obscure and inadequate (PSNativePSPathResolution)
- Add a -DisplayHint parameter to Measure-Object for disk-space representations that are easy to grasp

- Confusion between verbose and debug streams
- Introduce a conceptual help topic about PowerShell's output streams: about_Streams
- Various corrections and improvements for about_Redirection
- Make it clearer that Out-File uses the formatting system, contrast it with Set-Content
- Clarify the purpose of Write-Host, contrast it with Write-Output; document stringification behavior
- Emphasize the information that Write-Output is normally not needed, clarify when it is useful, use a better example
