Hello! This addresses my feature request in #607 . Internally we have a need for this as we want to be able to implement custom types that either emit raw, unescaped HCL, and be able to encode
map[string]string
to HCL easily.These 2 interfaces let us implement the custom marshalling logic in our code while introducing minimal changes to this library code.
I added a few tests in
encode_test.go
to demonstrate using these interfaces to overwrite expression and block marshaling behavior on custom types, as well as some tests for handling pointer, nil and zero cases (nil and zero will panic - i think this desired behavior)Let me know what you think - thanks!
