Description
It would be nice to select shared features (components under Tools in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx#Feature) for a SQL Server installation through DSC.
This might need its own resource type, as there can only be one set of shared features installed per installed SQL Server edition and architecture (IIRC).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing SqlSetup DSC resource and how it handles SQL Server installation features. Determine how shared features under the Tools category should be selected and whether they require a separate resource type. Done means shared features can be configured through DSC while respecting the one-set-per-edition-and-architecture constraint.
