function Get-CallerPreference {
    <#
    .Synopsis
       Fetches "Preference" variable values from the caller's scope.
    .DESCRIPTION
       Script module functions do not automatically inherit their caller's variables, but they can be
       obtained through the $PSCmdlet variable in Advanced Functions. This function is a helper function
       for any script module Advanced Function; by passing in the values of $ExecutionContext.SessionState
       and $PSCmdlet, Get-CallerPreference will set the caller's preference variables locally.
    .PARAMETER Cmdlet
       The $PSCmdlet object from a script module Advanced Function.
    .PARAMETER SessionState
       The $ExecutionContext.SessionState object from a script module Advanced Function. This is how the
       Get-CallerPreference function sets variables in its callers' scope, even if that caller is in a different
       script module.
    .PARAMETER Name
       Optional array of parameter names to retrieve from the caller's scope. Default is to retrieve all
       Preference variables as defined in the about_Preference_Variables help file (as of PowerShell 4.0)
       This parameter may also specify names of variables that are not in the about_Preference_Variables
       help file, and the function will retrieve and set those as well.
    .EXAMPLE
       Get-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -SessionState $ExecutionContext.SessionState
 
       Imports the default PowerShell preference variables from the caller into the local scope.
    .EXAMPLE
       Get-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -SessionState $ExecutionContext.SessionState -Name 'ErrorActionPreference','SomeOtherVariable'
 
       Imports only the ErrorActionPreference and SomeOtherVariable variables into the local scope.
    .EXAMPLE
       'ErrorActionPreference','SomeOtherVariable' | Get-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -SessionState $ExecutionContext.SessionState
 
       Same as Example 2, but sends variable names to the Name parameter via pipeline input.
    .INPUTS
       String
    .OUTPUTS
       None. This function does not produce pipeline output.

    .SYNOPSIS
    Helper function to simplify creating dynamic parameters
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Helper function to simplify creating dynamic parameters.
 
    Example use cases:
        Include parameters only if your environment dictates it
        Include parameters depending on the value of a user-specified parameter
        Provide tab completion and intellisense for parameters, depending on the environment
 
    Please keep in mind that all dynamic parameters you create, will not have corresponding variables created.
        Use New-DynamicParameter with 'CreateVariables' switch in your main code block,
        ('Process' for advanced functions) to create those variables.
        Alternatively, manually reference $PSBoundParameters for the dynamic parameter value.
 
    This function has two operating modes:
 
    1. All dynamic parameters created in one pass using pipeline input to the function. This mode allows to create dynamic parameters en masse,
    with one function call. There is no need to create and maintain custom RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary.
 
    2. Dynamic parameters are created by separate function calls and added to the RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary you created beforehand.
    Then you output this RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary to the pipeline. This allows more fine-grained control of the dynamic parameters,
    with custom conditions and so on.

    .PARAMETER Dictionary
    If specified, add resulting RuntimeDefinedParameter to an existing RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary.
    Appropriate for custom dynamic parameters creation.
 
    If not specified, create and return a RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
    Aappropriate for a simple dynamic parameter creation.
 
    .PARAMETER CreateVariables
    Dynamic parameters don't have corresponding variables created, you need to call New-DynamicParameter with CreateVariables switch to fix that.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Create one dynamic parameter.
 
    This example illustrates the use of New-DynamicParameter to create a single dynamic parameter.
    The Drive's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available volumes on the computer for handy tab completion / intellisense.
 
    Usage: Get-FreeSpace -Drive <tab>
 
    function Get-FreeSpace
    {
        [CmdletBinding()]
        Param()
        DynamicParam
        {
            # Get drive names for ValidateSet attribute
            $DriveList = ([System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives()).Name
 
            # Create new dynamic parameter
            New-DynamicParameter -Name Drive -ValidateSet $DriveList -Type ([array]) -Position 0 -Mandatory
        }
 
        Process
        {
            # Dynamic parameters don't have corresponding variables created,
            # you need to call New-DynamicParameter with CreateVariables switch to fix that.
            New-DynamicParameter -CreateVariables -BoundParameters $PSBoundParameters
 
            $DriveInfo = [System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives() | Where-Object {$Drive -contains $_.Name}
            $DriveInfo |
                ForEach-Object {
                    if(!$_.TotalFreeSpace)
                    {
                        $FreePct = 0
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $FreePct = [System.Math]::Round(($_.TotalSize / $_.TotalFreeSpace), 2)
                    }
                    New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property @{
                        Drive = $_.Name
                        DriveType = $_.DriveType
                        'Free(%)' = $FreePct
                    }
                }
        }
    }
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Create several dynamic parameters not using custom RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary (requires piping).
 
    In this example two dynamic parameters are created. Each parameter belongs to the different parameter set, so they are mutually exclusive.
 
    The Drive's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available volumes on the computer.
    The DriveType's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available drive types.
 
    Usage: Get-FreeSpace -Drive <tab>
        or
    Usage: Get-FreeSpace -DriveType <tab>
 
    Parameters are defined in the array of hashtables, which is then piped through the New-Object to create PSObject and pass it to the New-DynamicParameter function.
    Because of piping, New-DynamicParameter function is able to create all parameters at once, thus eliminating need for you to create and pass external RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary to it.
 
    function Get-FreeSpace
    {
        [CmdletBinding()]
        Param()
        DynamicParam
        {
            # Array of hashtables that hold values for dynamic parameters
            $DynamicParameters = @(
                @{
                    Name = 'Drive'
                    Type = [array]
                    Position = 0
                    Mandatory = $true
                    ValidateSet = ([System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives()).Name
                    ParameterSetName = 'Drive'
                },
                @{
                    Name = 'DriveType'
                    Type = [array]
                    Position = 0
                    Mandatory = $true
                    ValidateSet = [System.Enum]::GetNames('System.IO.DriveType')
                    ParameterSetName = 'DriveType'
                }
            )
 
            # Convert hashtables to PSObjects and pipe them to the New-DynamicParameter,
            # to create all dynamic paramters in one function call.
            $DynamicParameters | ForEach-Object {New-Object PSObject -Property $_} | New-DynamicParameter
        }
        Process
        {
            # Dynamic parameters don't have corresponding variables created,
            # you need to call New-DynamicParameter with CreateVariables switch to fix that.
            New-DynamicParameter -CreateVariables -BoundParameters $PSBoundParameters
 
            if($Drive)
            {
                $Filter = {$Drive -contains $_.Name}
            }
            elseif($DriveType)
            {
                $Filter = {$DriveType -contains $_.DriveType}
            }
 
            $DriveInfo = [System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives() | Where-Object $Filter
            $DriveInfo |
                ForEach-Object {
                    if(!$_.TotalFreeSpace)
                    {
                        $FreePct = 0
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $FreePct = [System.Math]::Round(($_.TotalSize / $_.TotalFreeSpace), 2)
                    }
                    New-Object -TypeName psobject -Property @{
                        Drive = $_.Name
                        DriveType = $_.DriveType
                        'Free(%)' = $FreePct
                    }
                }
        }
    }
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Create several dynamic parameters, with multiple Parameter Sets, not using custom RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary (requires piping).
 
    In this example three dynamic parameters are created. Two of the parameters are belong to the different parameter set, so they are mutually exclusive.
    One of the parameters belongs to both parameter sets.
 
    The Drive's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available volumes on the computer.
    The DriveType's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available drive types.
    The DriveType's parameter ValidateSet is populated with all available drive types.
    The Precision's parameter controls number of digits after decimal separator for Free Space percentage.
 
    Usage: Get-FreeSpace -Drive <tab> -Precision 2
        or
    Usage: Get-FreeSpace -DriveType <tab> -Precision 2
 
    Parameters are defined in the array of hashtables, which is then piped through the New-Object to create PSObject and pass it to the New-DynamicParameter function.
    If parameter with the same name already exist in the RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary, a new Parameter Set is added to it.
    Because of piping, New-DynamicParameter function is able to create all parameters at once, thus eliminating need for you to create and pass external RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary to it.
 
    function Get-FreeSpace
    {
        [CmdletBinding()]

    .Example
    Create dynamic parameters using custom dictionary.
 
    In case you need more control, use custom dictionary to precisely choose what dynamic parameters to create and when.
    The example below will create DriveType dynamic parameter only if today is not a Friday:
 
    function Get-FreeSpace
    {
        [CmdletBinding()]
        Param()
        DynamicParam
        {
            $Drive = @{
                Name = 'Drive'
                Type = [array]
                Position = 0
                Mandatory = $true
                ValidateSet = ([System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives()).Name
                ParameterSetName = 'Drive'
            }
 
            $DriveType = @{
                Name = 'DriveType'
                Type = [array]
                Position = 0
                Mandatory = $true
                ValidateSet = [System.Enum]::GetNames('System.IO.DriveType')
                ParameterSetName = 'DriveType'
            }
 
            # Create dictionary
            $DynamicParameters = New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary
 
            # Add new dynamic parameter to dictionary
            New-DynamicParameter @Drive -Dictionary $DynamicParameters
 
            # Add another dynamic parameter to dictionary, only if today is not a Friday
            if((Get-Date).DayOfWeek -ne [DayOfWeek]::Friday)
            {
                New-DynamicParameter @DriveType -Dictionary $DynamicParameters
            }
 
            # Return dictionary with dynamic parameters
            $DynamicParameters
        }
        Process
        {
            # Dynamic parameters don't have corresponding variables created,
            # you need to call New-DynamicParameter with CreateVariables switch to fix that.
            New-DynamicParameter -CreateVariables -BoundParameters $PSBoundParameters
 
            if($Drive)
            {
                $Filter = {$Drive -contains $_.Name}
            }
            elseif($DriveType)
            {
                $Filter = {$DriveType -contains $_.DriveType}
            }
 
            $DriveInfo = [System.IO.DriveInfo]::GetDrives() | Where-Object $Filter
            $DriveInfo |
                ForEach-Object {
                    if(!$_.TotalFreeSpace)
                    {
                        $FreePct = 0

A few items to consider doing next:
 
1. Add public functions, one per file, to '.\src\public'
2. Update your default readme.md file at the root project directory
3. Update the about_ModuleName.help.txt file within '.\build\docs\en-US'
4. Doing ReadTheDocs integration? Cool, update '.\build\docs\ReadTheDocs' by creating folders representing sections and putting markdown files within them for the pages within those sections.
5. But remember that the markdown files in '.\build\docs\Additional' need some love too. These get dropped into your project '.\docs' directory at build time (overwriting anything there in the process!)
6. Update any bits within your *.psd1 that are appropriate to your module but don't mess with the exported function names as those get handled automatically when you do the build.
7. If you enabled sensitive terminology scanning then review and update your terms defined in your '.\build\YourModule.buildenvironment.json' file or use the 'Set-MBBuildEnvironment.ps1' function.
8. Change your project logo at '.\src\other\powershell-project.png'
9. Build your project with '.\Build.ps1'
10. Enter a PowerShell Gallery (aka Nuget) API key to the '.\build\YourModule.buildenvironment.json' file or use the 'Set-MBBuildEnvironment.ps1' function. Without this you will not be able to upload your module to the PSGallery.
 
Run Update-Module ModuleBuild every so often to get more recent releases of this project.
 
Enjoy!
