Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As we are all starting to use bicep, we want to use also inject file in bicep.
Something that is currently unsupported it seems here: https://github.com/arcus-azure/arcus.scripting/blob/master/src/Arcus.Scripting.ARM/Scripts/Inject-ArmContent.ps1

Describe the solution you'd like
So it works identical as with arm templates

Describe alternatives you've considered
Bicep doesn't allow providing a path out of the box, so there are no other options if I'm not mistaken.

Additional context
None

@pim-simons , can we add this to the Arcus.Scripting.ARM PowerShell module? Or is the 'ARM' here not really a good place to store something related to 'Bicep'?

Good point, I would say creating a new Arcus.Scripting.Bicep is cleaner.

I'm still a rookie if it comes to bicep. Is there also something like a place where the FileToInject=... token is placed in a parameter file or something?

Basically Bicep is just a domain-specific language on top of ARM, so it shouldn't be that different.

It was designed in first phase only for the files itself. It might be interesting to have it as a parameter. But in the end, it shouldn't really matter. If you find the pattern, do the magic. No matter if it is a bicep or a json (arm) file.

What kind of file to you want to inject ?
I think it does matter, as ARM is actually plain JSON, but bicep is not compatible with just plain old JSON.

I think we need the same behavior & features as the current implementation on ARM. and for the posh function I was hoping is was not linked to any file format, but just searching a pattern and replacing there...
