Do you follow any any conventions when programming in PowerShell?

For example, in scripts which are to be maintained long-term do you:

  • Use the real cmdlet name or alias?
  • Specify the cmdlet parameter name in full or only partially (dir -Recurse versus dir -r)
  • When specifying string arguments for cmdlets do you enclose them in quotes (New-Object 'System.Int32' versus New-Object System.Int32
  • When writing functions and filters do you specify the types of parameters?
  • Do you write cmdlets in the (official) correct case?
  • For keywords like BEGIN...PROCESS...END do you write them in uppercase only?

Thanks for any replies.
