   @johlju I've got some questions about the design of this resource.

   For the properties MaximumVersion, and MinimumVersion does specifying a state of one of them mean all resources out of compliance are uninstalled, or do we just say the resource is in the correct state if a single resource meets the critera.

   For example: Given this resource declaration:

   $Params = @{
     Name = 'PSResource'
     ModuleName = 'ComputerManagementDsc'
     Property = @{
       Name   = 'jeadsc'
       Ensure = 'Present'
       MaximumVersion = '0.6.0'
     }
     Method = 'Get'
   }
   

   and this result of Get-Module -Name JeaDsc -ListAvailable

   PS C:\Users\vagrant> Get-Module -Name JeaDsc -ListAvailable
   
   
       Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
   
   
   ModuleType Version    Name                                ExportedCommands                                                                                                           
   ---------- -------    ----                                ----------------                                                                                                           
   Script     0.7.2      JeaDsc                              ConvertTo-Expression                                                                                                       
   Script     0.6.0      JeaDsc                              {Compare-JeaConfiguration, Convert-ObjectToHashtable, Convert-StringToObject}
   

   Is the resource in compliance because JeaDsc version 6.0.0 meets the resource, or out of spec because 0.7.2 exceeds it and we need to uninstall 0.7.2?

   Similar question for RequiredVersion, but I think it's more cut and dry that as long as the resource of the requiredversion exists, we're in the correct state.

   thanks!
