function Get-MsmqMessageQueuePath
{
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Gets the path to an MSMQ message queue.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The MSMQ APIs expect paths when identifying a queue. This function converts a queue name into its path so that logic isn't spread across all your scripts.
 
    Private queue paths are constructed differently. If you need to get the path to a private MSMQ, use the `Private` switch.
 
    .OUTPUTS
    System.String.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-MsmqMessageQueuePath -Name MovieQueue
 
    Returns the path to the `MovieQueue` queue.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-MsmqMessageQueuePath -Name MovieQueue -Private
 
    Returns the path to the private `MovieQueue`. Must be for the critics. Early access for the win!
