function Test-RegistryKeyValue
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Tests if a registry value exists.
     
    .DESCRIPTION
    The usual ways for checking if a registry value exists don't handle when a value simply has an empty or null value. This function actually checks if a key has a value with a given name.
     
    .EXAMPLE
    Test-RegistryKeyValue -Path 'hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test' -Name 'Title'
     
    Returns `True` if `hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test` contains a value named 'Title'. `False` otherwise.

        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]

        $Path,
        
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [string]
        # The name of the value being set.
