Martin Atkins	7987a2fdb2	configs: new package for HCL2-based configuration ... There's a lot of complexity in our existing "config" package that results from our approach to handling configuration with HCL and HIL. A lot of that functionality is no longer needed -- or must work in a significantly different way -- for HCL2. The new package "configs", which is named following the convention of some Go standard library packages like "strings", is a re-imagination of some of the functionality from the "config" package for an HCL2-only world. The scope of this package will be slightly smaller than "config", since it only deals with config loading and not with expression evaluation. Another package "lang" (mentioned in the docstring here but not yet added) will deal with the more dynamic portions of of configuration handling, including populating an hcl.EvalContext to evaluate expressions.	8 years ago
