How to refer to entire pipeline object without a script block

Question

With the advent of PowerShell V3 instead of having to write:

Get-Process | Where { $_.ProcessName -match "win" }

...one could now write the more terse:

Get-Process | Where ProcessName -match "win"

... a clear win (ahem) for shell use.

Now let's say I had a simple array of strings, call it $stuff. Is it possible to reduce this:

$stuff | Where { $_ -match "win" }

...in an analogous way to the first example, i.e. removing the script block and referring to the entire object, in this case?

Answer 1

To reduce

$stuff | Where { $_ -match "win" } 

you can always do it like this (works for all powershell version):

$stuff = "a","b","win", "winona", "d", "windows"
$stuff -match "win"
win
winona
windows
