-RequiresInclude

By default, messages will be written to a logging provider, unless a specific exclude rule was met or any include rule was not met. That means, if no exclude and include rules exist at a given time, all messages will be written to the logging provider instance. Setting this to true will instead require at least one include rule to exist - and be met - before logging a message. This is designed for in particular for runspace-bound logging providers, which might at runtime swiftly gain or lose included runspaces.

Type: SwitchParameter
