function Get-DbaPfTemplate {
 <#
    .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\)
     
    The default repository contains templates from:
     
            Microsoft's Templates that come with SSMS
            Jes Borland's "Everyday Extended Events" presentation and GitHub repository (https://github.com/grrlgeek/extended-events)
            Christian Gräfe's XE Repo: https://github.com/chrgraefe/sqlscripts/blob/master/XE-Events/
            Erin Stellato's Blog: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/erin/
     
    Some profile templates converted using:
     
            sp_SQLskills_ConvertTraceToExtendedEvents.sql
            Jonathan M. Kehayias, SQLskills.com
            http://sqlskills.com/blogs/jonathan
 
    .PARAMETER Path
    The path to the template directory. Defaults to our template repository (\bin\xetemplates\)
     
    .PARAMETER Pattern
    Specify a pattern for filtering. Alternatively, you can use Out-GridView -Passthru to select objects and pipe them to Import-DbaPfTemplate
 
    .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.
