// experiment package contains helper functions for tracking experimental
// features throughout Terraform.
//
// This package should be used for creating, enabling, querying, and deleting
// experimental features. By unifying all of that onto a single interface,
// we can have the Go compiler help us by enforcing every place we touch
// an experimental feature.
//
// To create a new experiment:
//
//   1. Add the experiment to the global vars list below, prefixed with X_
//
//   2. Add the experiment variable to the All listin the init() function
//
//   3. Use it!
//
// To remove an experiment:
//
//   1. Delete the experiment global var.
//
//   2. Try to compile and fix all the places where the var was referenced.
//
// To use an experiment:
//
//   1. Use Flag() if you want the experiment to be available from the CLI.
//
//   2. Use Enabled() to check whether it is enabled.
//
// As a general user:
//
//   1. The `-Xexperiment-name` flag
//   2. The `TF_X_<experiment-name>` env var.
//   3. The `TF_X_FORCE` env var can be set to force an experimental feature
//      without human verifications.
//
