Description
Like pragma in c# can disable a warning for a line and then enable it again.
As an example, I've got a few variables that are used to within Invoke-Expression's, and the script analyzer flags them as unused variables but they are actually used. I dont want to ignore the rule for the entire script, just these few variables.
Is there a way to do this?

Research direction
The issue requests rule-specific suppression for individual PowerShell lines or blocks, especially variables used within Invoke-Expression. No files, tests, or entry points are named; begin by locating the existing rule-suppression behavior and determine how line and block scope should be represented. Done should include suppression for selected rules without disabling those rules for the entire script.
