function Get-DbaXESessionTemplate {
 <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in our template repository (\bin\xetemplates\)
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in our template repository (\bin\xetemplates\)
 
    .PARAMETER Path
    The path to the template directory. Defaults to our template repository (\bin\xetemplates\)
 
    .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.
