.SYNOPSIS
    Gets the child nodes of an object-graph
 
.DESCRIPTION
    Gets the (unique) nodes and child nodes in one or more specified locations of an object-graph
    The returned nodes are unique even if the provide list of input parent nodes have an overlap.
 
.EXAMPLE
    # Select all leaf nodes in a object graph
 
    Given the following object graph:
 
        $Object = @{
            Comment = 'Sample ObjectGraph'
            Data = @(
                @{
                    Index = 1
                    Name = 'One'
                    Comment = 'First item'
                }
                @{
                    Index = 2
                    Name = 'Two'
                    Comment = 'Second item'
                }
                @{
                    Index = 3
                    Name = 'Three'
                    Comment = 'Third item'
                }
            )
        }
 
    The following example will receive all leaf nodes:
 
        $Object | Get-ChildNode -Recurse -Leaf
 
        Path Name Depth Value
        ---- ---- ----- -----
        .Data[0].Comment Comment 3 First item
        .Data[0].Name Name 3 One
        .Data[0].Index Index 3 1
        .Data[1].Comment Comment 3 Second item
        .Data[1].Name Name 3 Two
        .Data[1].Index Index 3 2
        .Data[2].Comment Comment 3 Third item
        .Data[2].Name Name 3 Three
        .Data[2].Index Index 3 3
        .Comment Comment 1 Sample ObjectGraph
 
.EXAMPLE
    # update a property
 
    The following example selects all child nodes named `Comment` at a depth of `3`.
    Than filters the one that has an `Index` sibling with the value `2` and eventually
    sets the value (of the `Comment` node) to: 'Two to the Loo'.
 
        $Object | Get-ChildNode -AtDepth 3 -Include Comment |
            Where-Object { $_.ParentNode.GetChildNode('Index').Value -eq 2 } |
            ForEach-Object { $_.Value = 'Two to the Loo' }
 
        ConvertTo-Expression $Object
 
        @{
            Data =
                @{
                    Comment = 'First item'
                    Name = 'One'
                    Index = 1
                },
                @{
                    Comment = 'Two to the Loo'
                    Name = 'Two'
                    Index = 2
                },
                @{
                    Comment = 'Third item'
                    Name = 'Three'
                    Index = 3
                }
            Comment = 'Sample ObjectGraph'
        }

.PARAMETER InputObject
    The concerned object graph or node.
 
.PARAMETER Recurse
    Recursively iterates through all embedded property objects (nodes) to get the selected nodes.
    The maximum depth of of a specific node that might be retrieved is define by the `MaxDepth`
    of the (root) node. To change the maximum depth the (root) node needs to be loaded first, e.g.:
 
        Get-Node <InputObject> -Depth 20 | Get-ChildNode ...
 
    (See also: [`Get-Node`][2])
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > If the [AtDepth] parameter is supplied, the object graph is recursively searched anyways
    > for the selected nodes up till the deepest given `AtDepth` value.
 
.PARAMETER AtDepth
    When defined, only returns nodes at the given depth(s).
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > The nodes below the `MaxDepth` can not be retrieved.
 
.PARAMETER ListChild
    Returns the closest nodes derived from a **list node**.
 
.PARAMETER Include
    Returns only nodes derived from a **map node** including only the ones specified by one or more
    string patterns defined by this parameter. Wildcard characters are permitted.
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > The [-Include] and [-Exclude] parameters can be used together. However, the exclusions are applied
    > after the inclusions, which can affect the final output.
 
.PARAMETER Exclude
    Returns only nodes derived from a **map node** excluding the ones specified by one or more
    string patterns defined by this parameter. Wildcard characters are permitted.
 
    > [!NOTE]
    > The [-Include] and [-Exclude] parameters can be used together. However, the exclusions are applied
    > after the inclusions, which can affect the final output.
 
.PARAMETER Literal
    The values of the [-Include] - and [-Exclude] parameters are used exactly as it is typed.
    No characters are interpreted as wildcards.
 
.PARAMETER Leaf
    Only return leaf nodes. Leaf nodes are nodes at the end of a branch and do not have any child nodes.
    You can use the [-Recurse] parameter with the [-Leaf] parameter.
 
.PARAMETER IncludeSelf
    Includes the current node with the returned child nodes.
