This looks fine to me, although I don't have the history of why the original code excluded empty arrays. @TravisEz13 do you have any recollection of this behavior since the conditional check is very explicit (although it could simply be wrong).

Fixes #126
PR Context
When switching from Windows PowerShell 5.1 to PowerShell 7 for DSC MOF compilation people are expecting no changes to the resulting MOF files. This is currently not the case for resource properties with an empty array value.
