     1  // experiment package contains helper functions for tracking experimental
     2  // features throughout Terraform.
     3  //
     4  // This package should be used for creating, enabling, querying, and deleting
     5  // experimental features. By unifying all of that onto a single interface,
     6  // we can have the Go compiler help us by enforcing every place we touch
     7  // an experimental feature.
     8  //
     9  // To create a new experiment:
    10  //
    11  //   1. Add the experiment to the global vars list below, prefixed with X_
    12  //
    13  //   2. Add the experiment variable to the All listin the init() function
    14  //
    15  //   3. Use it!
    16  //
    17  // To remove an experiment:
    18  //
    19  //   1. Delete the experiment global var.
    20  //
    21  //   2. Try to compile and fix all the places where the var was referenced.
    22  //
    23  // To use an experiment:
    24  //
    25  //   1. Use Flag() if you want the experiment to be available from the CLI.
    26  //
    27  //   2. Use Enabled() to check whether it is enabled.
    28  //
    29  // As a general user:
    30  //
    31  //   1. The `-Xexperiment-name` flag
    32  //   2. The `TF_X_<experiment-name>` env var.
    33  //   3. The `TF_X_FORCE` env var can be set to force an experimental feature
    34  //      without human verifications.
    35  //
