Bundle on build & publish for better performance

[o-l-a-v]

Context

Importing the module takes a long time, everything from 2-8 seconds in my short testing. This can be greatly improved by bundling all functions into a single .psm1 file, rather than foreach dot source.

Request

Consider doing a build / bundle step in the release pipeline to bundle these files into one single *.psm1?
