[powershell] Powershell: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument "xxx"

I had this issue after converting my Write-Host cmdlets to Write-Information and I was missing quotes and parens around the parameters. The cmdlet signatures are evidently not the same.

Write-Host this is a good idea $here
Write-Information this is a good idea $here <=BAD

This is the cmdlet signature that corrected after spending 20-30 minutes digging down the function stack...

Write-Information ("this is a good idea $here") <=GOOD
