function Complete-Job
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Waits for a set of PowerShell jobs to complete, receives each job as it finishes, and returns the number of jobs that didn't complete successfully.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Job management in PowerShell is a pain. At a minimum, you have to wait for each job to complete, then receive its output. This function manages all that for you. It iterates over a list/array of jobs, as each job finishes, it receives its output and removes it. If a job is blocked or stopped it receives and removes those jobs. When its all done, it returns the number of jobs that failed, were blocked, or stopped.
 
    By default, it sleeps for one second between status checks. You can increase this interval using the `IntervalSeconds` parameter.
 
    This function never times out.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    System.Int32.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Complete-Job -Job $jobs
 
    Sits and waits for all the jobs in `$jobs` to finish, block, or stop and returns the number that didn't succeed. It waits one second between status checks.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Complete-Job -Job $jobs -IntervalSeconds 60
 
    Waits for all the jobs in `$jobs` to finish, waiting 60 seconds between status checks.
