Get-Item P:\ath\To\A\Directory -Streams * does not work

See original GitHub issue

I tested this in PowerShell 5.1, and PowerShell 7 preview 3.

If I add an Alternate Data Stream to a directory, verify with streams.exe that it exists, and then try to list the ADS stream for the directory itself with PowerShell

Get-Item P:\ath\To\A\Directory -Streams *

does not work, and appears to return nothing

The code difference is quite small; basically WriteError(someErrorRecord) is non-terminating, and ThrowTerminatingError(someErrorRecord) is terminating.

Thinking more I believe:

Get-Item -Path * -Stream * or Get-Item -Path "exact_name" -Stream * shouldn’t write errors
Get-Item -Path * -Stream "exact_name_without_wildcards" should write non-terminating errors if the stream is not found.
