Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Starting a fresh PowerShell session, then doing Import-Module -Name 'EnterprisePolicyAsCode shows verbose messages.

WARNING: The names of some imported commands from the module 'EnterprisePolicyAsCode' include unapproved verbs that might make them less discoverable. To find the commands with unapproved verbs, run the Import-Module command again with the Verbose parameter. For a list of approved verbs, type Get-Verb.

It's not common to show verbose output unless it's explicitly enabled by the user. No other module I can think of does this, I see no reason for EPAC PS module to do it either.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Respect PowwerShell preferences for output streams.
• Import module silently unless -Verbose or -Debug is specified, or relevant streams are set to Continue / not SilentlyContinue.

Ideally it should look like this:

PS C:\Users\olavb> Import-Module -Name 'EnterprisePolicyAsCode'
PS C:\Users\olavb>

Describe alternatives you've considered

Redirect verbose output stream to $null.

PS C:\Users\olavb> Import-Module -Name 'EnterprisePolicyAsCode' 4>$null

Fix in development environment - as it is non breaking issue I'll close this and it will be included in the next version
