    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Converts an inputobject into a hashtable.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Converts an inputobject into a hashtable.
        Allows remapping keys as needed.
 
    .PARAMETER Include
        Which properties / keys to include.
        Only properties that exist on the input will be included, no matter what.
 
    .PARAMETER Mapping
        A hashtable mapping keys to another name.
        This is used to change the keys on hashtables.
        Specifically, this allows providing PowerShell-compliant parameter names, while passing them to the REST api how the API wants them.
 
    .PARAMETER InputObject
        The object to convert into a hashtable.
 
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> $PSBoundParameters | ConvertTo-Hashtable -Include Name, Description, ID -Mapping @{ ID = 'objectId; Name = 'name' }
 
        Converts the $PSBoundParameters system-variable into a regular hashtable, discarding all entries but Name, Description and ID.
        "Name" will be renamed to be lowercase if specified, "ID" will be renamed to "objectId" if specified.
