Should we have a format when strings have a predefined set of values. So for sort the asc desc, lsstat is has a set as well.

I'm not sure how to define it. The description makes it pretty clear what to do.

something like regex syntax: /"(asc|desc)"/
or Powershell validation sets: [ValidateSet("Steve","Mary")]

And I disagree that the description is clear. You should be able to call a function knowing only it's signature, and asc_desc is not a defined type. If you want to do that you should do what .NET and Go do and use enums or consts instead of strings

I like the Piped version (Minus the escapes and quotes, so
(asc|desc) string

Agreed... looks much better! Great work! |
Documenting function parameter types and returns
This also includes formally renaming Number to NumberSet to cause less confusion.
