Is it possible to add support for $using:variable inside script block? about invoke-parallel

Cool idea!

@proxb has a slick project that basically implements a job-like system for runspaces. Looks like he implemented handling for $Using:variable fairly recently.

I'll take a stab at borrowing some ideas and converting to PowerShell 2 syntax. Haven't had a chance to play with the AST yet.

Duct taped that in, minimal to no changes to @proxb's code. Relies on AST so PowerShell 3 and later only (reflects $Using in all other scenarios, so should meet user's expectations). Not sure if PSParser would work for this to provide down-level support...

If you think the implementation makes sense let me know and we can merge it in.

Cheers!

I have probably an 80% solution for V2 $Using: support using PSParser. Pretty much everything up until adding the updated variables into the scriptblock as well as updating the Param() statement with the variables. If I can remember, I will grab the code from work and post in a Gist and link it here in case you wanted to take a swing at is as well.

The basic implementation is in place - closing this out just to clean up this mess. At this point, personally, I'm not worried about PowerShell v2 support : )

Cheers!
