function Get-SubnetMaskIPv4 {
  <#
.SYNOPSIS
    Gets a dotted decimal subnet mask given the number of bits in the mask
.DESCRIPTION
    Gets a dotted decimal subnet mask given the number of bits in the mask. Can optionally include the number of bits.
.PARAMETER Length
    A mandatory [int] or array of [int] for which you want the subnet mask. Can be fed from the pipeline.
    Aliased to both 'NetworkLength' and 'CIDR'
.PARAMETER IncludeInput
    A switch controlling whether you want to see the CIDR length. Aliased to 'IncludeCIDR' for backward compatibility
.EXAMPLE
    Get-SubnetMaskIPv4 -Length 22 -IncludeInput
 
    Length SubnetMask
    ------ ----------
        22 255.255.252.0
.EXAMPLE
    22..25 | Get-SubnetMaskIPv4 -IncludeInput
 
    Length SubnetMask
    ------ ----------
        22 255.255.252.0
        23 255.255.254.0
        24 255.255.255.0
        25 255.255.255.128
.EXAMPLE
    Get-SubnetMaskIPv4 23
    Would return:
    255.255.254.0
.OUTPUTS
    [psobject] if -IncludeInput switch specified
    [string] default
