-    .SYNOPSIS
-        Tests defined optional dependencies and returns the result as bool.
-
-    .DESCRIPTION
-        Use this function to test for optional modules. You can use it if you provide functions which needs special
-        modules but you don't want to make them required.
-
-        Place a file called Dependency.json in your module root dir. The default format is:
-
-        {
-            "Version": 0.1,
-            "Mandatory": {},
-            "Optional": [
-                {
-                    "Name": "VMware",
-                    "Modules": [
-                        "VMware.VimAutomation.Core"
