    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Invokes Prism.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    A tool similar to nuget but for PowerShell modules. A config file in the root of a repository that specifies
    what modules should be installed into the PSModules directory of the repository. If a path is provided for the
    module it will be installed at the specified path instead of the PSModules directory.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Invoke-Prism 'install'
 
    Demonstrates how to call this function to install required PSModules.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Invoke-Prism 'install' -Name 'Module1', 'Module2'
 
    Demonstrates how to install a subset of the required PSModules.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Invoke-Prism 'update' -Name 'Module1', 'Module2'
 
    Demonstrates how to update a subset of the required PSModules.

function Use-CallerPreference
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Sets the PowerShell preference variables in a module's function based on the callers preferences.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Script module functions do not automatically inherit their caller's variables, including preferences set by common
    parameters. This means if you call a script with switches like `-Verbose` or `-WhatIf`, those that parameter don't
    get passed into any function that belongs to a module.
 
    When used in a module function, `Use-CallerPreference` will grab the value of these common parameters used by the
    function's caller:
 
     * ErrorAction
     * Debug
     * Confirm
     * InformationAction
     * Verbose
     * WarningAction
     * WhatIf
     
    This function should be used in a module's function to grab the caller's preference variables so the caller doesn't
    have to explicitly pass common parameters to the module function.
 
    This function is adapted from the [`Get-CallerPreference` function written by David Wyatt](https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Inherit-Preference-82343b9d).
 
    There is currently a [bug in PowerShell](https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/Feedback/Details/763621) that
    causes an error when `ErrorAction` is implicitly set to `Ignore`. If you use this function, you'll need to add
    explicit `-ErrorAction $ErrorActionPreference` to every `Write-Error` call. Please vote up this issue so it can get
    fixed.
