Yes, the name "Powershell" would have an appeal to a certain kind of
would-be "power user", if anyone uses that term anymore. It makes sense
that the idea would keep cropping up.

Python, which is why I was originally asking if anyone knew of an
application launcher, written in Python for launching Python code.
