I created a Helper module with some handy functions. This module itself needs a few other modules to run.

In my scripts, I import it with Import-Module Helper -Verbose:$false so even if the outer script is run with -Verbose, the module will be silently loaded. Well, that's what I thought.

The required sub-modules are verbosely loaded when I run the outer script in with -Verbose. I tried to declare them either with RequiredModules in Helper.psd1, or #Requires -Modules in Help.psm1, but the result is always the same: the sub-modules are verbosely imported.

did I miss something obvious? or is it by design with no hope to fix it, except manually importing the sub-modules with Import-Module -Verbose:$false in Helper.psm1?
