Description
## Scope of request
CloudFormation allows us to define Macros, Resources, and Modules within a single account-region. We would like to make the objects we define in a given region available to all accounts within our organization. Right now this requires instantiating a StackSet that targets an OU.
AWS provides RAM Resource Shares as a means of sharing objects across accounts. We should be able to publish CloudFormation Macros, Resources, and Modules in a RAM share for use in our various accounts, then use them from CloudFormation in a separate account as though they had been defined natively.

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the resource types in the example—AWS::CloudFormation::Macro, ModuleVersion, ModuleDefaultVersion, and AWS::RAM::ResourceShare—and the requested cross-account behavior. Done means these CloudFormation objects can be published through a RAM share and consumed from other accounts as described.
