It would be awfully nice to have, or just a functional hcl2json that you can actually use, and doesn't barf on very common cases. Introspecting Terraform (or another HCL language) is something I've often wanted to do and support is very poor. Ideally Terraform would actually do this (produce an intermediate parse in JSON or something) but it doesn't. But there are a lot of cases where you want to examine such a manifest and derive information from it.
