Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
using the sudo command with no options elevates the current shell, without opening a new window if set to work inline
or add an option tag to do so, Linux/Unix systems use sudo su to do so
Scenario when this would be used?
When opening a non elevated command prompt, but later needing elevated permissions for multiple commands
Could also be used in individual tabs to allow you to go back from a non elevated tab when not needing elevated permissions and not cluttering the screen with multiple windows

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by mapping the existing sudo command behavior for Windows and how it handles an invocation without options. Done should mean that invoking sudo without options can elevate the current shell inline, with any alternate window behavior explicitly defined and tested.
