function Install-User

    .SYNOPSIS
    Installs a *local* user account.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    `Install-User` creates a new *local* user account, or updates an existing *local* user account.
     
    Returns the user if `-PassThru` switch is used. The object returned, an instance of `System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal`, uses external resources, which means it can leak memory when garbage collected. When you're done using the user object you get, call its `Dispose()` method so its external resources are cleaned up properly.
 
    The `UserCannotChangePassword` and `PasswordExpires` switches were added in Carbon 2.0.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.

    .EXAMPLE
    Install-User -Credential $lukeCredentials -Description "Luke Skywalker's account."
 
    Creates a new `LSkywalker` user account with the given password and description. Luke's password is set to never expire.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Install-User -Credential $lukeCredentials -UserCannotChangePassword -PasswordExpires
 
    Demonstrates how to create an account for a user who cannot change his password and whose password will expire.
