Issue Description

I am seeing an issue with intellisense loading custom DSC module resource definitions/syntax. Attached is the functionality working as expected in ISE vs. VSCode. I know there is an outstanding performance issue with scripts that contain the Import-DscResource cmdlet but I am not sure if this would be due to that issue.

Are these completions provided in PowerShell? Tagging @SeeminglyScience here in case he has any insight :)

@rjmholt That's Get-DscResource ResourceName -Syntax. We already do something similar with Get-Command -Syntax, so we likely just need to check if it's a DSC resource at that step. I'll include a link to where we do that later tonight.

Any update on this one?

I'm also still waiting for proper DSC support in vscode, one of the major blockers in using vscode.

Going to mark this as up for grabs for now, until we get more bandwidth...if anyone has some knowledge of C# and wants to contribute we would be happy to help you get started!
