Remarks

Gives the provider guidance on how vigorous it should be about performing the operation. If true, the provider should do everything possible to perform the operation. If false, the provider should attempt the operation but allow even simple errors to terminate the operation. For example, if the user tries to copy a file to a path that already exists and the destination is read-only, if force is true, the provider should copy over the existing read-only file. If force is false, the provider should write an error.

This is meant to be overridden by derived classes if they support the Force parameter. This property is on the base class to simplify the creation of the CmdletProviderContext.
