It seems we should rename the method. Maybe IsNotPSSpecificProperty

I'd prefer to cover all code branches by tests.
I suggest using TestCases with ma,es of the properties and manually add the properties (one per test) to propertyless object.

PR Summary
Fix #25832
This fix the case where a Propertyless object is rendered undisplayable after being inspected using Get-Member or any similar introspection commands.
PR Context
Propertyless object are usually displayed using a fallback to their ToString() methods.
But the method currently used to evaluate the "Propertyless-ness" of an object relies on a flawed evaluation:
After inspecting the object, one new property gets dynamically attached to the object, rendering it undisplayable, because no longer regarded as Propertyless.
This PR fixes and extend the current
IsNotRemotingPropertyfunction in two ways: adds the currently missingRemotingConstants.EventObjectkind (currently missing from the evaluation), and also adds thePSObject.PSTypeNameskind to the exclusion list to ensure introspected propertyless objects don't get misjudged as "property-full".Also, maybe changing the
IsNotRemotingPropertyinto a new name likeIsNotBlacklistedPropertyorIsNotSkippedPropertycould be a good idea to mach this function extended purpose, but I wanted to get some feedback before any name change.The full rational and discussion prior to making this PR can be found in my issue report :
