Remarks

Scopes can be created by script expressions or when one Windows PowerShell command or script calls another, which in turn may cause a stack overflow for deeply-recursive scripts. Windows PowerShell enforces a maximum call depth to prevent stack overflows. The maximum call depth is configurable, but generally high enough that scripts that are not deeply recursive should not have a problem.
