    {
        #region Parameters
        /// <summary>
        /// This parameter represents the verbosity of the message. The lower the number, the more important it is for a human user to read the message.
        /// By default, the levels are distributed like this:
        /// - 1-3 Direct verbose output to the user (using Write-Host)
        /// - 4-6 Output only visible when requesting extra verbosity (using Write-Verbose)
        /// - 1-9 Debugging information, written using Write-Debug
        ///
        /// In addition, it is possible to select the level "Warning" which moves the message out of the configurable range:
        /// The user will always be shown this message, unless he silences the entire verbosity.
        ///
        /// Possible levels:
        /// Critical (1), Important / Output / Host (2), Significant (3), VeryVerbose (4), Verbose (5), SomewhatVerbose (6), System (7), Debug (8), InternalComment (9), Warning (666)
        /// Either one of the strings or its respective number will do as input.
        /// </summary>

        /// The message to write/log. The function name and timestamp will automatically be prepended.

        /// Thus will the lockout only be written if called once and not burden the system unduly.
        /// This lockout will be written as a hidden value, to see it use Get-DbaConfig -Force.
