## DEVELOPERS NOTES & CONVENTIONS
##
## 1. Non-exported functions (subroutines) should avoid using
## PowerShell standard Verb-Noun naming convention.
## They should use camalCase or PascalCase instead.
## 2. SMALL subroutines, used only from ONE function
## should be placed inside the parent function body.
## They should use camalCase for the name.
## 3. LARGE subroutines and subroutines used from MORE THEN ONE function
## should be placed after the IMPLEMENTATION text block in the middle
## of this module.
## They should use PascalCase for the name.
## 4. Add comment "# yeild" on subroutine calls that write values to pipeline.
## It would help keep code maintainable and simplify ramp up for others.
