 notes:
 - Check-mode C(-C/--check) and diff output (-D/--diff) are supported, so that you can test every change against the active configuration before applying changes.
-- At the moment REG_NONE support is missing because it is lacking from the Powershell API. Workarounds are possible but currently lacking.
 - Beware that some registry hives (HKEY_USERS in particular) do not allow to create new registry paths.
