Proposal

Though terraform plan shows pretty printed version.

It would be nice if this pretty printed version will be stored into a generated configuration file.

Good idea. This could look really nice. The plan renderer does this for any string attribute value that starts with { or [ and parses as JSON. We could do the same in genconfig.
