The seemingly only useful way to use the Type Information currently added by default during Export-Csv would be to reapply the PSTypeNames to the PSCustomObjects. Currently, These Type names are currently prepended with CSV:. This means that exporting a simple PSObject to CSV and then re-importing would require 2 format definitions or add/set the PSTypeNames for the imported objects.

Steps to reproduce

[PSCustomObject]@{
    PSTypeName = 'My.Custom.Object'
    Column1 = 'values1'
} | Export-Csv C:\temp\csv.csv
$import = Import-Csv C:\temp\csv.csv
$import.PSObject.TypeNames

Expected behavior

My.Custom.Object

Actual behavior

CSV:My.Custom.Object
