Accessing common parameters

Hello all. Is there a way to gain access to the common parameters passed to
a cmdlet without parsing the command line? We would like to know that
-WhatIf, -Confirm etc. were specified on the command line, without inferring
it via ShouldProcess.

I know this sounds like a crazy thing to do. Unfortunately the remoting
strategy being pursued in Powershell does not meet our requirements, so we're
investigating ways to provide this functionality ourselves. In order to
replicate the user's intent on the target server we need to convey things
like -WhatIf over to the cmdlets running there.

This is a deep topic so I'll stop there for now. We've been through the
debugger trying to find this information, but it looks like these parameters
are consumed by the engine before cmdlets execute. Any ideas?
