Ability to pipe file paths to the Include function

[UberDoodles]

Expected Behavior

It would be nice to be able to do this :
Get-ChildItem $somePath | Include;

Current Behavior

Currently, you would have to use a more verbose syntax 👍
Get-ChildItem $somePath | ForEach-Object {Include $_}

Possible Solution

Should just be a case of adding ValueFromPipeline=$true to the parameter, and putting the function's content into a process block.

I'm happy to implement this; just creating an issue to associate it with. This could probably be applied to other functions too (I've not had a thorough look yet). If I find them I can either add them to this issue, or log separate issues.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context

This is just a minor improvement that makes user's code more concise.

I think this would be a good addition @UberDoodles.

ValueFromPipeline may be all that is required, but if you wanted to make it more robust, you could also check out this article I wrote a while back about working with file paths and the pipeline. https://4sysops.com/archives/process-file-paths-from-the-pipeline-in-powershell-functions/

I don't know if all that extra support is strictly needed in this case but if you want to implement this feature, I'd be all for it.

Thanks @devblackops; that's an awesome article. I'll make sure to implement those improvements.
