    .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": [
