There is currently no way to construct an output value which does not come directly from an ephemeral resource or input. Even if the constructed value is entirely composed of ephemeral attributes or elements, because there is no action to manually mark something as ephemeral (other than a variable block), the resulting value itself is not marked as ephemeral, and fails validation. Instead of strictly checking for an ephemeral mark on the output value, we can accept any value because the result will always be entirely ephemeral anyway. This mirrors the variable block behavior, which can accept any type of value as input, but is evaluated as ephemeral.
