function Get-CMsmqMessageQueue
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Gets the MSMQ message queue by the given name
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Returns a [MessageQueue](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.messaging.messagequeue.aspx) object for the Message Queue with name `Name`. If one doesn't exist, returns `$null`.
 
    Because MSMQ handles private queues differently than public queues, you must explicitly tell `Get-CMsmqMessageQueue` the queue you want to get is private by using the `Private` switch.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    System.Messaging.MessageQueue.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CMsmqMessageQueue -Name LunchQueue
 
    Returns the [MessageQueue](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.messaging.messagequeue.aspx) object for the queue named LunchQueue. It's probably pretty full!
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-CMsmqMessageQueue -Name TeacherLunchQueue -Private
 
    Returns the [MessageQueue](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.messaging.messagequeue.aspx) object for the teacher's private LunchQueue. They must be medical professors.
