function Get-DbaSpinLockStatistic {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Displays information from sys.dm_os_spinlock_stats. Works on SQL Server 2008 and above.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
            This command is based off of Paul Randal's post "Advanced SQL Server performance tuning"
 
            Returns:
                    SpinLockName
                    Collisions
                    Spins
                    SpinsPerCollision
                    SleepTime
                    Backoffs
 
            Reference: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/advanced-performance-troubleshooting-waits-latches-spinlocks/
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The SQL Server instance. Server version must be SQL Server version 2008 or higher.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).
 
        Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported.
 
        For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
