// Marshal produces a JSON representation of the given value that can later
// be decoded into a value of the given type.
//
// A type is specified separately to allow for the given type to include
// cty.DynamicPseudoType to represent situations where any type is permitted
// and so type information must be included to allow recovery of the stored
// structure when decoding.
//
// The given type will also be used to attempt automatic conversions of any
// non-conformant types in the given value, although this will not always
// be possible. If the value cannot be made to be conformant then an error is
// returned, which may be a cty.PathError.
//
// Capsule-typed values can be marshalled, but with some caveats. Since
// capsule values are compared by pointer equality, it is impossible to recover
// a value that will compare equal to the original value. Additionally,
// it's not possible to JSON-serialize the capsule type itself, so it's not
// valid to use capsule types within parts of the value that are conformed to
// cty.DynamicPseudoType. Otherwise, a capsule value can be used as long as
// the encapsulated type itself is serializable with the Marshal function
// in encoding/json.
