+# Assumptions:
+#     1. This script is run from within the PowerShell that it will register as a WinRM endpoint.
+#     2. The CoreCLR and the the PowerShell assemblies are side-by-side in $PSHOME
+#     3. Plugins are registered by version number. Only one plugin can be automatically registered
+#        per PowerShell version. However, multiple endpoints may be manually registered for a given
+#        plugin.
