Support -AllowClobber

[arcotek-ltd]

Original PS cmdlets have the -AllowClobber switch. Can this be ported to this DSC resource.

A command with name 'Add-RoleMember' is already available on this system. This module 'SqlServer' may override the existing commands. If you still want to install this module 'SqlServer', use -AllowClobber parameter.

Small point, shouldn't this resource be called cPowerShellModule, where 'c' stands for community as it is in the public domain?

BTW. Thanks for publishing this.

Thanks for your feedback.
AllowClobber would be a great addition. I won't be able to add this in the very near future though (upcoming conferences).
If you like, please open a Pull Request and I'm happy to merge it in.

To your naming comment: No, I don't agree with that practice. I agree that the name isn't perfect, but the c Prefix, just like the x, has always been a bad idea.

Is this now released somewhere?

[ricohomewood]

When will this be push to the powershell gallery?

[mjcarrabine]

Will this be pushed to PowerShell Gallery?

This is the only DSC resource I have found to import modules with AllowClobber.
