     9  // container which delivers the source code for one or more Terraform modules.
    10  //
    11  // A ModulePackage is a string in go-getter's address syntax. By convention,
    12  // we use ModulePackage-typed values only for the result of successfully
    13  // running the go-getter "detectors", which produces an address string which
    14  // includes an explicit installation method prefix along with an address
    15  // string in the format expected by that installation method.
    16  //
    17  // Note that although the "detector" phase of go-getter does do some simple
    18  // normalization in certain cases, it isn't generally possible to compare
    19  // two ModulePackage values to decide if they refer to the same package. Two
    20  // equal ModulePackage values represent the same package, but there might be
    21  // other non-equal ModulePackage values that also refer to that package, and
    22  // there is no reliable way to determine that.
    23  //
    24  // Don't convert a user-provided string directly to ModulePackage. Instead,
    25  // use ParseModuleSource with a remote module address and then access the
    26  // ModulePackage value from the result, making sure to also handle the
    27  // selected subdirectory if any. You should convert directly to ModulePackage
    28  // only for a string that is hard-coded into the program (e.g. in a unit test)
    29  // where you've ensured that it's already in the expected syntax.

    45  // series of steps in the module installer, with the help of the type checker.
