// Capsule creates a new Capsule type.
//
// A Capsule type is a special type that can be used to transport arbitrary
// Go native values of a given type through the cty type system. A language
// that uses cty as its type system might, for example, provide functions
// that return capsule-typed values and then other functions that operate
// on those values.
//
// From cty's perspective, Capsule types have a few interesting characteristics,
// described in the following paragraphs.
//
// Each capsule type has an associated Go native type that it is able to
// transport. Capsule types compare by identity, so each call to the
// Capsule function creates an entirely-distinct cty Type, even if two calls
// use the same native type.
//
// Each capsule-typed value contains a pointer to a value of the given native
// type. A capsule-typed value supports no operations except equality, and
// equality is implemented by pointer identity of the encapsulated pointer.
//
// The given name is used as the new type's "friendly name". This can be any
// string in principle, but will usually be a short, all-lowercase name aimed
// at users of the embedding language (i.e. not mention Go-specific details)
// and will ideally not create ambiguity with any predefined cty type.
//
// Capsule types are never introduced by any standard cty operation, so a
// calling application opts in to including them within its own type system
// by creating them and introducing them via its own functions. At that point,
// the application is responsible for dealing with any capsule-typed values
// that might be returned.
