// nested in a block. They can be a list or a set.
//
// While the protocol and theoretically Terraform itself support map and group
// nesting modes, this framework intentionally only supports list, set, and
// single blocks as those other modes were not typically implemented or
// tested with Terraform since the older Terraform Plugin SDK did not support
// them.
