Provide/document an official way to run a PSCmdlet from another PSCmdlet

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

There’s an official article describing how to invoke a Cmdlet from another cmdlet: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/developer/cmdlet/how-to-invoke-a-cmdlet-from-within-a-cmdlet?view=powershell-7.2 However, it does not describe any way to do the same for PSCmdlet, which I believe is a much more common request, given that most of builtin cmdlets inherit from PSCmdlet. On Stack Overflow, one can find guides how to do that, but at least some of them are either wrong, or grossly inefficient (e.g. spawning a new PowerShell instance just to run a single cmdlet).

I’d appreciate an official documentation on how to invoke PSCmdlet-deriving cmdlets, and ideally a new, discoverable, type-safe method on PSCmdlet to do that without extra workarounds.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

A PSCmdlet inherits from Cmdlet so whatever you can do with Cmdlet should be possible from PSCmdlet. You can see PSCmdlet.Invoke<T> in the main doc page for that class (although it just redirects to the Cmdlet one due to inheritance.

Nah it throws at runtime for PSCmdlet. The only way to invoke another command from a binary cmdlet is with the SMA.PowerShell API

Ah ok, good to know, did not realise that was the case
