BUGBUG - brucepay Mar. 2013 - I don't think this is general enough for dynamic keywords to support arbitrary target languages with arbitrary type representations so we may need an extension point here...

Maps a .NET or CIM type name string (e.g. SInt32) to the form expected by PowerShell users, namely "[typename]" If there is no mapping, then it returns null. If the string to convert is null or empty then the function returns "[object]" as the default typeless type.
