HashTable具有无限深度。为什么？如何避免？

当我使用$ emptyHashTable变量创建一个空的哈希表时，似乎会生成无尽的深度哈希表。不知道为什么。
当我使用@ {}时，它可以正常工作。

代码示例

cls

$L1     = "L1"
$emptyHashTable = @{}

# Correct, hashtable contains 1 sub-hashtable
$proj1       = @{}
$proj1."$L1" = @{}

# Wrong, endless hashtable depth
$proj2       = @{}
$proj2."$L1" = $emptyHashTable

# Wrong, endless hashtable depth
$proj3       = $emptyHashTable
$proj3."$L1" = @{}

# Wrong, endless hashtable depth
$proj4       = $emptyHashTable
$proj4."$L1" = $emptyHashTable

Write-Host
Write-Host "proj1"
Write-Host "Level 0: " $proj1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 1: " $proj1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 2: " $proj1.L1.L1.GetType() # Will generate error: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
Write-Host
Write-Host "proj2"
Write-Host "Level 0: " $proj2.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 1: " $proj2.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 2: " $proj2.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 3: " $proj2.L1.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 4: " $proj2.L1.L1.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host
Write-Host "proj3"
Write-Host "Level 0: " $proj3.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 1: " $proj3.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 2: " $proj3.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 3: " $proj3.L1.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 4: " $proj3.L1.L1.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host
Write-Host "proj4"
Write-Host "Level 0: " $proj4.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 1: " $proj4.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 2: " $proj4.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 3: " $proj4.L1.L1.L1.GetType()
Write-Host "Level 4: " $proj4.L1.L1.L1.L1.GetType()

结果

proj1
Level 0:  System.Collections.Hashtable
Level 1:  System.Collections.Hashtable
