+    .SYNOPSIS
+    DSC Resource to set/unset chocolatey config settings
+
+    .NOTES
+    This resource supports querying the XML file directly. This is faster but not recommended as it does not respect the chocolatey api.
+    Use this feature if you will not be upgrading chocolatey as updates may change the xml format and break this resource!
