function Start-PSFRunspace
{
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Starts a runspace that was registered to the PSFramework
     
    .DESCRIPTION
        Starts a runspace that was registered to the PSFramework
        Simply registering does not automatically start a given runspace. Only by executing this function will it take effect.
     
    .PARAMETER Name
        The name of the registered runspace to launch
     
    .PARAMETER Runspace
        The runspace to launch. Returned by Get-PSFRunspace
     
    .PARAMETER NoMessage
        Setting this will prevent messages be written to the message / logging system.
        This is designed to make the PSFramework not flood the log on each import.
     
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        This parameters disables user-friendly warnings and enables the throwing of exceptions.
        This is less user friendly, but allows catching exceptions in calling scripts.
     
    .PARAMETER Confirm
        If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
    .PARAMETER WhatIf
        If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
     
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Start-PSFRunspace -Name 'mymodule.maintenance'
         
        Starts the runspace registered under the name 'mymodule.maintenance'
