Issue Details

PR #2022 was merged, but the linked PR PowerShell/PowerShell#5815 was never merged and actually closed because of inactivity.
These cmdlets are in the official docs now https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/convertfrom-clixml?view=powershell-6 but don't actually exist:

$ ConvertFrom-Clixml
ConvertFrom-Clixml : The term 'ConvertFrom-Clixml' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ ConvertFrom-Clixml
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (ConvertFrom-Clixml:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

This is very misleading.
