Description

Summary of the new feature

Allow the breaking out of compatibility profile components into pieces so that they can be composed at rule-execution time.

Ideally this would mean a new field on compatibility rules of some kind to tack on a profile to another profile. For cmdlet-based profile manipulation, this might look like Join-PSCompatibilityProfile.

This is mainly me recording this thought for later

Research direction

Start by examining compatibility profile components, compatibility rules, and the rule-execution path. The issue suggests either a composable profile field or a Join-PSCompatibilityProfile cmdlet, but it does not identify files, tests, or a settled design; done would mean composing profile pieces for large module libraries such as Az.
