Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.

Summary
We should have an option to expand parameter name on format like what we have for expanding cmdlet aliases.
For example, -rec should expand to -Recurse if available.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing cmdlet-alias expansion behavior and the formatting or completion entry points in PowerShell Editor Services. Determine how parameter names are represented and where formatting options are handled; done means the requested option expands an available abbreviated parameter such as -rec to -Recurse, with coverage for the behavior.
