// Package customdecode contains a HCL extension that allows, in certain
// contexts, expression evaluation to be overridden by custom static analysis.
//
// This mechanism is only supported in certain specific contexts where
// expressions are decoded with a specific target type in mind. For more
// information, see the documentation on CustomExpressionDecoder.

// CustomExpressionDecoder is a value intended to be used as a cty capsule
// type ExtensionData key for capsule types whose values are to be obtained
// by static analysis of an expression rather than normal evaluation of that
// expression.
//
// When a cooperating capsule type is asked for ExtensionData with this key,
// it must return a non-nil CustomExpressionDecoderFunc value.
//
// This mechanism is not universally supported; instead, it's handled in a few
// specific places where expressions are evaluated with the intent of producing
// a cty.Value of a type given by the calling application.
//
// Specifically, this currently works for type constraints given in
// hcldec.AttrSpec and hcldec.BlockAttrsSpec, and it works for arguments to
// function calls in the HCL native syntax. HCL extensions implemented outside
// of the main HCL module may also implement this; consult their own
// documentation for details.

// implementation.

// If no error diagnostics are returned, the result value MUST be of the
// capsule type that the decoder function was derived from. If the returned
// error diagnostics prevent producing a value at all, return cty.NilVal.
