Despite the fact that catch blocks should always receive an ErrorRecord object as the $_ or $PSItem value, there is no autocompletion / type inference performed for its properties, nor those of the Exception and/or InnerExceptions it contains.

Steps to reproduce

try {
    throw "nope"
}
catch {
    $PSItem.{tab}
}

Expected behavior

    $PSItem.CategoryInfo      # And cycle through list of ErrorRecord properties on subsequent presses

(I know there's a programmatic way to get completion results, but I'm not familiar enough with how it works to be able to put that together at present.)

Actual behavior

    $PSItem.                 # no completion results offered whatsoever

   Ilya (@iSazonov) I'm not sure why this is marked as a question. It sounds like an enhancement request to me.

   Bruce Payette (@BrucePay) I do not know if it is possible to implement. If yes, then this is an enhancement.
