Write-Verbose output that doesn't wrap to command width in Powershell

Here is a very simple workaround based on Write-Host which does not have such a problem. In the beginning of the session install/dot-source the replacement of the default Write-Verbose:

function global:Write-Verbose(    [string]    $Message){    # check $VerbosePreference variable    if ($VerbosePreference -ne 'SilentlyContinue') {        # do this via Write-Host        Write-Host "VERBOSE: $Message" -ForegroundColor 'Yellow'    }}

Then this works as needed:

$VerbosePreference = 'Continue'Start-Transcript -Path .\RunUnitTests.logWrite-Verbose ("verbose writes five million character lines and stuff. " * 20)

That is: it takes into account $VerbosePreference, it writes to host in yellow, transcript output is not wrapped and it is still marked VERBOSE.
