Version 1.1 of the PowerShell Community Extensions<\/a> has just been release so I decided to kick the tires. After I installed it, I noticed that some conflicts and then realized that there might be conflicts between my customizations and the Aliases, Functions and Cmdlets that they delivered.

PS> gcm -type cmdlet,function,alias |group name |where {$_.count -gt 1}

Count Name Group
—– —- —–
2 Get-FileVersionInfo {Get-FileVersionInfo, Get-FileVersionInfo}
2 help {help, help}
2 man {man, man}
2 mkdir {mkdir, mkdir}
2 ql {ql, ql}
2 qs {qs, qs}
PS> gcm qs

Function qs “$args”
