Description
Original discussion in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/6015
I have the following few things that keep bugging me when I write classes and would would be great to seem them appear in a next version (or at least a few of them)
- Interface creation (Tracking #2223)
- Abstract classes
- Possibility to Override properties getters and setters (Tracking #2219)
- Creation of static and non static nested classes
- Implementing comment based help in Classes
- Comment based help for Methods
- Remove the need to reload classes (Currently, when developing, one needs to kill the console, and reload the class to get the latest version. IT would make sense to have the same functionality as in functions: Just F5, and the old version of classes get overwritten by the new version, and we can use it immediatley).

Research direction
Start with the original discussion in issue #6015 and review the tracked items #2223 and #2219. The issue lists several separate class-language requests, including interfaces, abstract classes, property overrides, nested classes, help, and reloading; it needs to be narrowed to one decided improvement before work can begin.
