Write-Output -NoEnumerate should not convert items in list to PSObject #8124
Description
Steps to reproduce
→ [int[]] $before = @(1,2,3,4)
→ $before.GetType()
IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True Int32[] System.Array
→ $after = Write-Output $before -NoEnumerate
→ $after.GetType()
IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True PSObject[] System.Array
Expected behavior
$after's type should still be Int32[] because Write-Output -NoEnumerate should not mess with the contents of the array.
Actual behavior
$after's type is PSObject[]

Indeed, but this has been reported before: #5955
In fact, there's a few related issues: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+Write-Output+-NoEnumerate+in%3Atitle
All of which seem to originate in this ill-fated PR: #2038, originally discussed in #2035.

Sounds good. I'll resolve as dupe to #5955
