// Functions in this file are compatibility shims intended to ease conversion
// from the old configuration loader. Any use of these functions that makes
// a change should generate a deprecation warning explaining to the user how
// to update their code for new patterns.
//
// Shims are particularly important for any patterns that have been widely
// documented in books, tutorials, etc. Users will still be starting from
// these examples and we want to help them adopt the latest patterns rather
// than leave them stranded.

// shimTraversalInString takes any arbitrary expression and checks if it is
// a quoted string in the native syntax. If it _is_, then it is parsed as a
// traversal and re-wrapped into a synthetic traversal expression and a
// warning is generated. Otherwise, the given expression is just returned
// verbatim.
//
// This function has no effect on expressions from the JSON syntax, since
// traversals in strings are the required pattern in that syntax.
//
// If wantKeyword is set, the generated warning diagnostic will talk about
// keywords rather than references. The behavior is otherwise unchanged, and
// the caller remains responsible for checking that the result is indeed
// a keyword, e.g. using hcl.ExprAsKeyword.
