P4C: pCLI for View Parameter seeks cmdlet for long-term relationship

There is a list of “View PowerCLI Cmdlet Parameters” in the View documentation but while they are very useful when you have a cmdlet you are trying to run, the descriptions listed in the doc do not include which cmdlets have those parameters.  This will slow you down if you are trying to work backwards from how to enable a setting.
