Easy Way to Extend the Output in PowerShell

Sometimes it happens, you have a bit more text than expected in the output, and of course, you can format the table/list to include more data, but sometimes it doesn't really work, and you still need to check for the output width to be precise.
In case you run a command (it is easily visible, for example, in Members property of Get-ADGroup), and get the output like:
StoreNames : {TrustedPublisher, ClientAuthIssuer, Remote Desktop, Root...}

$FormatEnumerationLimit

$FormatEnumerationLimit=-1
