Description

A customizable file header type situation would be pretty cool.
Things like a default synopsis that includes a custom heading with author that pulls current user, update time, created time, stuff like that.
Also a .LINK comment with a customizable text entry to make linking to internal online powershell documentation easier.

Also thanks for making the comment block snippet at all, it's amazing.
