function Test-DbaRecoveryModel {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Find if database is really a specific recovery model or not.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            When you switch a database into FULL recovery model, it will behave like a SIMPLE recovery model until a full backup is taken in order to begin a log backup chain.
 
            However, you may also desire to validate if a database is SIMPLE or BULK LOGGED on an instance.
 
            Inspired by Paul Randal's post (http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/new-script-is-that-database-really-in-the-full-recovery-mode/)
 
        .PARAMETER SqlInstance
            The SQL Server instance to connect to.
 
        .PARAMETER SqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Database
            Specifies the database(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
            Specifies the database(s) to exclude from processing. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER RecoveryModel
            Specifies the type of recovery model you wish to test. By default it will test for FULL Recovery Model.
 
        .PARAMETER Detailed
            Output all properties, will be deprecated in 1.0.0 release.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaRecoveryModel -SqlInstance sql2005
 
            Shows all databases where the configured recovery model is FULL and indicates whether or not they are really in FULL recovery model.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaRecoveryModel -SqlInstance . | Where-Object {$_.ActualRecoveryModel -ne "FULL"}
 
            Only shows the databases that are functionally in 'simple' mode.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaRecoveryModel -SqlInstance sql2008 -RecoveryModel Bulk_Logged | Sort-Object Server -Descending
 
            Shows all databases where the configured recovery model is BULK_LOGGED and sort them by server name descending
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Test-DbaRecoveryModel -SqlInstance localhost | Select-Object -Property *
 
            Shows all of the properties for the databases that have Full Recovery Model
