Can LCM settings be used in dsc_resource setting?

Hello,

dsc_resource allows to use DSC resources available on system but how do I use dsc_resource to configure LCM itself. Example of DSC script is below

[DscLocalConfigurationManager()]
Configuration LCMSettings {
    Node localhost
    {
        Settings
        {
            RefreshMode = “Disabled”
            configurationmode = "ApplyOnly"
        }
    }
}

One option to configure the LCM might be to use powershell_script, like this:

powershell_script 'Configure the LCM' do
  code <<-EOH
    Configuration ConfigLCM
    {
        Node "localhost"
        {
            LocalConfigurationManager
            {
                ConfigurationMode = "ApplyOnly"
                RebootNodeIfNeeded = $false
            }
        }
    }
    ConfigLCM -OutputPath "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}\\DSC_LCM"
    Set-DscLocalConfigurationManager -Path "#{Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]}\\DSC_LCM"
  EOH
  not_if '(Get-DscLocalConfigurationManager | select -ExpandProperty "ConfigurationMode") -eq "ApplyOnly"'
end

I understand that, I just wanted to use cleaner dsc_resource resource instead.
