Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version

Steps to reproduce
The documentation for Find-PSResource indicates that the Repository parameter accepts wildcards, its use causes an error.
Find-PSResource -Name 'invokebuild' -Prerelease -Repository '[PS*]'
But the error message quotes the parameter Name :
Find-PSResource : -Name with wildcards '?' and '[' are not supported for this cmdlet so Name entry: [PS*] will be
discarded.
Expected behavior
List all module matching.
Actual behavior
Error 'ErrorFilteringNamesForUnsupportedWildcards'.

Reproduce the issue with Find-PSResource -Name 'invokebuild' -Prerelease -Repository '[PS*]' on the reported PSResourceGet version and compare the error with the expected repository filtering behavior. Trace the Find-PSResource handling associated with ErrorFilteringNamesForUnsupportedWildcards; done means wildcard repository matching works without treating the repository value as a Name entry.
