3.0 modules that update the prompt break the powerline prompt about powerline HOT 4 CLOSED

FYI, this is likely because ZLocation is defining prompt by writing to the function: drive. This defines it in the global scope which overrides PowerLine's copy. From then on, prompt runs in global scope and no longer has access to private (script scope) variables in PowerLine.

I still don't know why this only appears until after another module modifies function:prompt, but the reason I get the error and thus the bare prompt is because I have Set-StrictMode -Version Latest at the top of my $PROFILE. If I remove that, the errant behavior doesn't happen without trying to reload the configuration.

The full fix is to re-run Powerline's Set-PowerLinePrompt and then add ZLocation's hook as a block:

Set-PowerLinePrompt
Add-PowerLineBlock { Update-ZLocation $pwd }

Of course, the best thing would be for ZLocation itself to update the prompt function by appending to $Prompt instead of thinking it's OK to hack your function...
