It is very difficult to establish a Living Documentation policy with Powershell, because of the lack of Literate Programming tools with Powershell support. Currently available Powershell support for Powershell is limited to syntax highlighting and external execution of Powershell commands from code fences. The results of execution of Powershell code snippets is not shown within the Emacs buffer.
