Feature Request: Output in HCL Format

[jgrossmac]

I am currently working on 2 different Terraform configurations that are related to each other, but not enough that I want to make them each a separate module. It would be nice if terraform output supported HCL so I can stdout to a tfvars file that my other configuration can ingest and use for its build. Configuration 2 will always be dependent upon configuration 1 for resources such as VPCs, subnets, ect..

Currently it looks like json is supported which seems to work, but I prefer HCL for the readability.

Hi @jgrossmac!

This seems like a reasonable idea. We're currently embarking on some quite complex changes to HCL/HIL that will change their internal API, so we'll need to hold on this until afterwards to avoid conflicts but once we get there it shouldn't be too hard to get this done.
