This is nice! What I find hard to grapple with is, how do other concepts of the file system map to these providers, even more so to Alias, Environment, Function or Variable? Like creating an item, deleting an item, copying an item, viewing contents and properties like permissions, size, visibility of an item?

For the Certificate provider specifically: When I think certificates and hierarchy, I think signing hierarchy of issueing certs. But this is not what is exposed here, just the structure of the OS cert store without context. and moving items has much more implications that inside a normal data folder. Thus I prefer certlm/certmgr.msc as they provide some more of it.

Sometimes It feels as they crammed too much into that idea, a forced concept. https://superuser.com/q/1065812/what-is-psprovider-in-powers...
