How to force trigger Terraform execution for resource which has not changed?

// , Would such a feature go along with the declarative, idempotent model for Terraform’s work flow?

I’m curious why the resource is named “workflow_execution”, describing an activity, rather than describing a cloud resource in a cloud provider.

IMO, if people are trying to move Terraform over to become more of a “job executor” similar to BOSH or Jenkins, I might not say “kill it with fire,” but it does raise some concerns.
