Research direction
No files, tests, or formatter entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the PSScriptAnalyzer formatter implementation and its handling of comments, then inspect existing formatter tests. Done means supporting the proposed range markers and the single comment that ignores all following lines without formatting the enclosed code.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Summary of the new feature
A common feature of formatter is to ignore formatting for rest of lines/range of lines with special comments.
I propose this feature because formatting rules in pssa are rather bold, you can't get a finer control on the style, so ignoring certain part can save my code from being messed up.
# ignore a range of lines
# pssa: ignore format start
echo foo
echo bar
# pssa: ignore format end
# ignore the rest of lines
# pssa: ignore format
echo foo
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
