Research direction

The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating existing PSScriptAnalyzer naming-validation rules and their tests, then determine which function-name forms should be accepted and how Pascal-Kebab-Case should be recognized. Done means the analyzer reports nonconforming PowerShell function names with tests covering the agreed cases.

Description

Pascal-Kebab-Case

There is a recommended notation for naming methods in Powershell script but no validation available. It would be great if PSScriptAnalyzer could catch names in different notations.
