// The "contextual" family of diagnostics are designed to allow separating
// the detection of a problem from placing that problem in context. For
// example, some code that is validating an object extracted from configuration
// may not have access to the configuration that generated it, but can still
// report problems within that object which the caller can then place in
// context by calling IsConfigBody on the returned diagnostics.
//
// When contextual diagnostics are used, the documentation for a method must
// be very explicit about what context is implied for any diagnostics returned,
// to help ensure the expected result.

// contextualFromConfig is an interface type implemented by diagnostic types
// that can elaborate themselves when given information about the configuration
// body they are embedded in.
//
// Usually this entails extracting source location information in order to
// populate the "Subject" range.

// AttributeValue returns a diagnostic about an attribute value in an implied current
// configuration context. This should be returned only from functions whose
// interface specifies a clear configuration context that this will be
// resolved in.
//
// The given path is relative to the implied configuration context. To describe
// a top-level attribute, it should be a single-element cty.Path with a
// cty.GetAttrStep. It's assumed that the path is returning into a structure
// that would be produced by our conventions in the configschema package; it
// may return unexpected results for structures that can't be represented by
// configschema.
//
// Since mapping attribute paths back onto configuration is an imprecise
// operation (e.g. dynamic block generation may cause the same block to be
// evaluated multiple times) the diagnostic detail should include the attribute
// name and other context required to help the user understand what is being
// referenced in case the identified source range is not unique.
//
// The returned attribute will not have source location information until
// context is applied to the containing diagnostics using diags.InConfigBody.
// After context is applied, the source location is the value assigned to the
// named attribute, or the containing body's "missing item range" if no
