        Handle time measurement
         
    .DESCRIPTION
        Handle time measurement from when a cmdlet / function starts and ends
         
        Will write the output to the verbose stream (Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose)
         
    .PARAMETER Start
        Switch to instruct the cmdlet that a start time registration needs to take place
         
    .PARAMETER End
        Switch to instruct the cmdlet that a time registration has come to its end and it needs to do the calculation
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Invoke-TimeSignal -Start
         
        This will start the time measurement for any given cmdlet / function
         
    .EXAMPLE
