    .SYNOPSIS
        Decorate an object with
            - A TypeName
            - New properties
            - Default parameters

    .DESCRIPTION
        Helper function to decorate an object with
            - A TypeName
            - New properties
            - Default parameters 

    .PARAMETER InputObject
        Object to decorate. Accepts pipeline input.

    .PARAMETER TypeName
        Typename to insert.
        
        This will show up when you use Get-Member against the resulting object.
        
    .PARAMETER PropertyToAdd
        Add these noteproperties.
        
        Format is a hashtable with Key (Property Name) = Value (Property Value).

        Example to add a One and Date property:

            -PropertyToAdd @{
                One = 1
                Date = (Get-Date)
            }

    .PARAMETER DefaultProperties
        Change the default properties that show up

    .PARAMETER Passthru
        Whether to pass the resulting object on. Defaults to true

    .EXAMPLE
        #
        # Create an object to work with
        $Object = [PSCustomObject]@{
            First = 'Cookie'
            Last = 'Monster'
            Account = 'CMonster'
        }

        #Add a type name and a random property
        Add-ObjectDetail -InputObject $Object -TypeName 'ApplicationX.Account' -PropertyToAdd @{ AnotherProperty = 5 }

            # First  Last    Account  AnotherProperty
            # -----  ----    -------  ---------------
            # Cookie Monster CMonster               5

        #Verify that get-member shows us the right type
        $Object | Get-Member

            # TypeName: ApplicationX.Account ...

    .EXAMPLE
        #
        # Create an object to work with
        $Object = [PSCustomObject]@{
            First = 'Cookie'
            Last = 'Monster'
            Account = 'CMonster'
        }

        #Add a random property, set a default property set so we only see two props by default
        Add-ObjectDetail -InputObject $Object -PropertyToAdd @{ AnotherProperty = 5 } -DefaultProperties Account, AnotherProperty

            # Account  AnotherProperty
            # -------  ---------------
            # CMonster               5

        #Verify that the other properties are around
        $Object | Select -Property *

            # First  Last    Account  AnotherProperty
            # -----  ----    -------  ---------------
            # Cookie Monster CMonster               5

    .NOTES
        This breaks the 'do one thing' rule from certain perspectives...
        The goal is to decorate an object all in one shot
   
        This abstraction simplifies decorating an object, with a slight trade-off in performance. For example:

        10,000 objects, add a property and typename:
            Add-ObjectDetail:                        ~4.6 seconds
            Add-Member + PSObject.TypeNames.Insert:  ~3 seconds
