LINQ in the compiler

Not really a bug but:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/904e5511789f0a8375c23c9a1ee59918be0a82a1/src/System.Management.Automation/engine/parser/Compiler.cs#L952-L955

And the method in the select:

That method is used to compile method arguments, the result is then enumerated twice (once in the first highlighted line, one is the last):

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/904e5511789f0a8375c23c9a1ee59918be0a82a1/src/System.Management.Automation/engine/parser/Compiler.cs#L6338-L6344

This causes all method arguments to be compiled twice due to multiple enumeration. I’m not aware of any bugs due to this behavior, but it probably negatively impacts compile time for complicated member invocations. Also the method supplied to Select is not done in such a way that the delegate can be cached per instance by roslyn.
