function Get-DbaXESessionTemplate {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in the dbatools template repository (\bin\xetemplates\).
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            Parses Extended Event XML templates. Defaults to parsing templates in the dbatools 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 the dbatools 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-DbaXESessionTemplate
 
        .PARAMETER Template
            Specifies one or more of the templates provided by dbatools. Press tab to cycle through the list of options.
 
        .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.
