  How can I specify a list of values for an advanced function?
  For example, I want to write a function with a parameter called $ReportingPeriod. I only want to allow 5 selections to be allowed.
  More to the point, I'd like them to be selectable in a drop-down in the call. Something similar to what you see when you type
  add-content -encoding
  when  you hit the space after "-encoding", a list of possible selections is displayed

  Don't know why this was SO hard to find...
  FYI: I understand there is an Enum function? command? in PoSh V5.

  Add-Type -TypeDefinition @"
   // very simple enum type
   public enum ReportingPeriods
   {
           All,
        Yesterday,
          CurrentWeek,
          PreviousWeek,
          MonthToDate,
          LastMonth,
          YearToDate
   }
  "@

  [ReportingPeriods]::
