$FormatEnumerationLimit works only if $global:FormatEnumerationLimit is set.
I wonder: if this by design or should I submit it as a bug?

# BEGIN SCRIPT

$global:FormatEnumerationLimit = 4 # ensure default PS value

function Test
{
$e = 1 | Select-Object Prop1
$e.Prop1 = 1..10

$FormatEnumerationLimit = 8
$e
}

Test

# END SCRIPT


OUTPUT
Prop1
-----
{1, 2, 3, 4...}

EXPECTED OUTPUT
Prop1
-----
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...}

It seems like a bug to me.

BTW there's another bug with FormatEnumerationLimit. In PSCX we used to
bump this to 100 in the profile but in certain circumstances that would
cause the Format-Custom applet to hang.

I think I'll submit it, say, tomorrow. Perhaps we'll get more comments.

Yes, I know this problem, too. On the other hand, it looks like rather a
problem of Format-Custom.
