Any plans to bring deepmerge into Terraform core?

[antonbabenko]

Hi guys!

Great work (as usual) :)

I wonder if you have considered proposing deepmerge functionality to Terraform core and/or go-cty/stdlib functions?

I think that deep merge is good to have as part of the core and there should be no need to include a separate provider for this.

Hey @antonbabenko
We want deep-merge to be a part of TF core very much.
Looking at various issues regarding that, looks like they are considering it, but ETA is not known.
That's why, since we need it right now, we implemented it in this provider, but we are looking forward to switching ti TF core's implementation anytime.

(this provider is not only about deep-merge, it will have other things that are missing in TF or will help us do other tasks).

thanks
