// DynamicValue is the representation in the plan of a value whose type cannot
// be determined at compile time, such as because it comes from a schema
// defined in a plugin.
//
// This type is used as an indirection so that the overall plan structure can
// be decoded without schema available, and then the dynamic values accessed
// at a later time once the appropriate schema has been determined.
//
// Internally, DynamicValue is a serialized version of a cty.Value created
// against a particular type constraint. Callers should not access directly
// the serialized form, whose format may change in future. Values of this
// type must always be created by calling NewDynamicValue.
//
// The zero value of DynamicValue is nil, and represents the absence of a
// value within the Go type system. This is distinct from a cty.NullVal
// result, which represents the absence of a value within the cty type system.

// NewDynamicValue creates a DynamicValue by serializing the given value
// against the given type constraint. The value must conform to the type
// constraint, or the result is undefined.
//
// If the value to be encoded has no predefined schema (for example, for
// module output values and input variables), set the type constraint to
// cty.DynamicPseudoType in order to save type information as part of the
// value, and then also pass cty.DynamicPseudoType to method Decode to recover
// the original value.
//
// cty.NilVal can be used to represent the absence of a value, but callers
// must be careful to distinguish values that are absent at the Go layer
// (cty.NilVal) vs. values that are absent at the cty layer (cty.NullVal
// results).
