Get ValueFromRemainingArguments as an hashtable

Question

Using [parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] one can get all the remaining arguments passed to the function into a variable as a list.

How can I

Updated per Ansgars comment.

One possibility is to build the hash-table within the function. Here is an example:

function MyFunction
{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param([parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] $allparams)

    process
    {
        $myhash = @{}
        for ($i = 0; $i -lt $allparams.count; $i+=2)
        {
            $myhash[($allparams[$i]-replace '^-+')] = $allparams[$i+1]
        }
    }
    end
    {
        $myhash
    }
}

We parse through the params in the parameters $allparams using a for loop, and retrieve the key/value pairs to form the hash table, then in the end block we display it.

MyFunction -var1 10 -var2 30 -var3 hello

var1                          10                        
var3                          hello                     
var2                          30
