Create hashtables with literal initializers |

Severity Level: Warning
Creating a hashtable using [hashtable]::new() or New-Object -TypeName hashtable without passing
a IEqualityComparer object to the constructor creates a hashtable where the keys are looked-up in
a case-sensitive manner. However, PowerShell is case-insensitive in nature and it is best to create
hashtables with case-insensitive key look-up.
This rule is intended to warn the author of the case-sensitive nature of the hashtable when created
using the new method or the New-Object cmdlet.
Create the hashtable using a literal hashtable expression.
$hashtable = [hashtable]::new()$hashtable = New-Object -TypeName hashtable$hashtable = @{}
