Ah, this is another caveat. When you pass an array to a pipe, Get-
Member grabs each item INSIDE the array and processes it. To see the
array itself you need to use the input parameter.

Try this:
gm -in @(dir some_exact_filename.txt)

And in my case I found it out by trial and error, but I hope someone
out there has a more authoritative (and less frustrating) source to
suggest.
