Prevent Process conversion to Get-Process

[PrzemyslawKlys]

This is a bit of non-standard request - I often get into a situation where for some reason Process gets converted to Get-Process and breaks a function (it should be Begin / Process / End) that I notice way too late. I am not sure when it happens but with formatting on save or just formatting on demand it does happen and can cause issues. Would it be possible to make a hard exception for Process where it doesn't get converted from alias to function name?

@PrzemyslawKlys could you provide an example script in which this is happening?

@PrzemyslawKlys it would also be great to know the output of:
gmo PSScriptAnalyzer

Right now I have only latest. I used to have multiple 0.18.x.

Usually, I have code like this:

function Test-Me {
    [cmdletBinding()]
    param(

    )
    Begin {

    }
    Process {

    }
    End {

    }
}

Having said that - it doesn't just automatically happen. It will randomly insert Get-Process instead of Process - I am not sure when that happens, and under what conditions. I just noticed it couple of times and I can't reproduce it on demand.

I think this is actually a duplicate of #1402 and the learnings from that other issue is that it only happens when there is invalid syntax (both at either parse or runtime). What probably happens as well is that this allows time for a rogue entry to make its way into the cache and once it's in the cache it will always stay there until the next restart of the integrated terminal.
Re-opening it temporarily to see if we get more information or thoughts but given that process is the only exception where the implicit Get- aliasing does not apply since process is a keyword in the first place, therefore I think we should just hard-code process to be excluded in the Get- aliasing check to avoid that problem from happening in the first place.
