function Get-DbaXESessionTemplate {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\).
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\).
 
        The default repository contains templates from:
        Microsoft's Templates that come with SSMS
        Jes Borland's "Everyday Extended Events" presentation and GitHub repository (https://github.com/grrlgeek/extended-events)
        Christian Grafe (@ChrGraefe) XE Repo: https://github.com/chrgraefe/sqlscripts/blob/master/XE-Events/
        Erin Stellato's Blog: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/erin/
 
        Some profile templates converted using:
        sp_SQLskills_ConvertTraceToExtendedEvents.sql
        Jonathan M. Kehayias, SQLskills.com
        http://sqlskills.com/blogs/jonathan
 
    .PARAMETER Path
        The path to the template directory. Defaults to the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\).
 
    .PARAMETER Pattern
        Specify a pattern for filtering. Alternatively, you can use Out-GridView -Passthru to select objects and pipe them to Import-DbaXESessionTemplate
 
    .PARAMETER Template
        Specifies one or more of the templates provided by dbatools. Press tab to cycle through the list of options.
 
    .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.
