Build and keep a cache of installed modules for intellisense

[gerane]

It would be useful if PSES would automatically cache any modules in the PSModulePath so that it could offer intellisense without needing to load the module.

Yeah, I'd have to find a way to do that securely, i.e. without loading the modules (and causing the .psm1 to be loaded).

Couldn't you use something like

 [System.Management.Automation.PSParser]::Tokenize()

That'd mean I'd have to manually scan every module in the module path and parse each code file contained within. Not sure if that's an ideal way to do it. I'll ask someone in the team to see if there's a better way

@daviwil - Perhaps you can make use the current cache as detailed at the bottom of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/wmf/5.1/engine-improvements
