You can shorten any argument name in PowerShell, so long as it can be disambiguated:

    PS C:\> ls -di # same as Get-ChildItem -Directory; -d would pass the -Depth parameter instead
    

        Directory: C:\


    Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
    ----                -------------         ------ ----
    d-----       2020-07-24     18:09                PerfLogs

Ouch, that is actually worse than I thought. So not only can you abbreviate parameters, but when the abbreviation is ambiguous Powershell just arbitrarily picks one instead of giving an error?
