Actually address #953 and its progress to the community (addition of module count/for_each)

[rekahsoft]

Current Terraform Version

0.12.x

Use-cases

Many use cases (see other threads). Our use case it to provision accounts with a base set of resources using a module that is instantiated many times with varying providers. For our use case to be supported, the provider must also be dynamic (that is, each module instantiation done via the loop would need to use a different provider).

Attempted Solutions

None. There is no good workaround to this problem. Currently we have hundreds of module instantiations that could be replaced by a single module with a for_each if supported.

Proposal

None. At least keep the community informed instead of locking issues and letting them sit for 3+ years.
