#
# The current cursor position, fg/bg colors, screen width, etc. can be specified or automatically detected.
# ##
# This is very loosly adapted from Out-Working by Joel Bennett (http://powershellcentral.com/scripts/105).
# ##
# Parameters:
# -msWait	Can be specified in order to insert a delay (in ms) after each character is written
# -spinStr	Can be specified in order to use an alternate set of “spin” characters (see below)
# -spinChars	Can be specified in order to use an alternate set of “spin” characters (see below)
# -rawUI		Can be specified if an alternate console window is to be used
# -bgColor	Can be specified to use a background color different than the current configuration
# -fgColor	Can be specified to use a foreground color different than the current configuration
# -curPos	Can be specified to spin in a different location than the current cursor position
# -startX	Can be specified to start spinning at a different “X” coordinate than the current cursor position
# -maxX		Can be specified to limit spinning to less than the current window width
# -trails	Can be used to leave a “trail” of characters to help with longer term waits
# ##
# If specified, -spinStr is passed as a string of characters with the last 2 characters being the trailing and blank character, respectively.
# Default: ‘\|/. ‘, spinning ‘\|/’, trailing with ‘.’ and blanking empty cells with ‘ ‘ when complete.
# ##
# If specified, -spinChars is passed as an array of characters with the last 2 elements being the trailing and blank character, respectively.
# Default: @(’‘, ‘\’, ‘|’, ‘/’, ‘.’, ‘ ‘), spinning ‘\|/’, trailing with ‘.’ and blanking empty cells with ‘ ‘ when complete.
# ##
# Examples:
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy)
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy -trails)
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy -mswait 1 -trails)
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy -mswait 1 -spinStr “123456789. “ -trails)
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy 1 -fgColor “Red” -trails)
# $t = (0..1000 | Spin-Busy 1 -fgColor “Red” -bgColor “Black” -trails)
#
