Steps to reproduce
# -no is ambiguous: could be -NoProfile, -NoLogo, ...
powershell -no -command get-date
Expected behavior
An error complaining about the ambiguity of the parameter name and refusal to continue.
Actual behavior
PS Core and Windows PS behave differently, due to the recent Core change to default to -File instead of -Command:
The argument '-no' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter.
