Files, encoding, and side effects

Encoding

Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 6+ have different defaults. Windows PowerShell cmdlets use several inconsistent defaults; PowerShell 6+ commonly writes UTF-8 without a BOM.
Defaults can vary by cmdlet, operation, append behavior, and BOM detection. Specify an encoding when interoperability matters instead of assuming one default applies everywhere.

Side effects

[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] adds -WhatIf and -Confirm support to a function, but does not guard effects by itself.
Run each protected state-changing operation only when $PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess(...) returns $true.
