Description

Currently we only wrap computed maps through classes, to make maps accessible in all languages as references / accessors we should support them in all use-cases, so also non-computed (writable) maps should be wrapped. This is probably a similar effort as supporting all lists

@DanielMSchmidt do you have an example of a case that you'd like to change? I can see a case in code, but my previous provider snapshot didn't actually have any instances where that case hits.

For the values map returned by the tfe_outputs datasource (docs) it would be nice if the new map type would have utility functions to retrieve typed values (e.g. .getString(), getList(), etc.) so that a user does not need to wrap them in Token.asList() or similar.
