Add a quiet parameter to Test-WSMan in order to returns a Boolean value

See original GitHub issue

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Just like Test-Connection , add a quiet parameter to Test-WSMan in order to returns a Boolean value In some computer, WSMan is not enable by default. And sometimes I need to collect a list of computer with WSMan enabled via an if statement as bellow:

$ship | foreach -Parallel {if (Test-Connection -ComputerName $_ -Quiet -Count 2 -Delay 1) {$_}} -ThrottleLimit 10 | tee -Path .\2online.txt

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

$ship | foreach -Parallel {if (Test-WSMan -ComputerName $_ -Quiet) {$_}} -ThrottleLimit 10 | tee -Path .\2online.txt

The Working Group has reviewed this and agrees there is a need for a -Quiet parameter to return a boolean value. While there is some debate about whether Quiet is the appropriate parameter name, there is precedent with Test-Connection and Select-String. This issue will be marked as Up for Grabs.
