Description
The Start-EditorServices.ps1 script is meant to have behavior to check whether the PSES module is installed on the user's machine and provide feedback to the editor so that they can prompt the user to accept its installation. The installation step should also be provided by the bootstrapper script.
This work needs to be finished to enable extensions for Sublime Text and other editors to invoke the installation of the PSES module without having to bundle it with their distributions.
