Steps to reproduce

There are quite a few programs that return non-zero success exit codes. With the PSNativeCommandErrorActionPreference experimental feature turned on this causes errors to be emitted to the console.

I propose that a variable and/or cmdlet maintain a dictionary of program successful exit codes to be checked at runtime when a program runs a non-zero exit code. The dictionary could also be expanded to include error codes. Imagine a community module(s) with a set of programs and success/error exit codes with descriptions that PowerShell could leverage to return to the user.

Register-ProgramExitCode [-Name] <string> [-ExitCode] <int> [[-Description] <string>] [[-Status] {Success | Error}] [<CommonParameters>]

A current example with brew:

PS /home/thomas> brew
Example usage:
  brew search TEXT|/REGEX/
  brew info [FORMULA|CASK...]
  brew install FORMULA|CASK...
  brew update
  brew upgrade [FORMULA|CASK...]
  brew uninstall FORMULA|CASK...
  brew list [FORMULA|CASK...]

Troubleshooting:
  brew config
  brew doctor
  brew install --verbose --debug FORMULA|CASK

Contributing:
  brew create URL [--no-fetch]
  brew edit [FORMULA|CASK...]

NativeCommandExitException: Program "brew" ended with non-zero exit code: 1.

Expected behavior

Programs that return successful non-zero exit codes; PowerShell does not write errors.

Actual behavior

Errors are written on all non-zero exit codes.
