This is a nice addition, but has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH
DOCUMENT OBJECTS.  It doesn't belong here.  If anything, you should
put together a single, small spec that adds this functionality to
Get-Jobs separately.  A pain, but this single attribute is useful
on its own.

Also, you probably need to have a way to let the client know that
this attribute is supported, e.g.
"start-after-job-id-supported (boolean)"...
