Not all aliases have full properties in a new session #11294
Description
Steps to reproduce
In a new session with -NoProfile specified (so that no commands have run previously)
Get-Alias gci | Format-List *I found this while working on #10784 following a comment from @adityapatwardhan. I had to dig down to the SessionStateAliasApis.cs file and put a breakpoint on line 50 to see the state of _currentScope
It doesn't appear to be all aliases, gcm and a bunch of others were fine.
Expected behavior
This works fine as long as you've run at least one command first (that isn't this one or others that interact with the aliases)
