Description
Deletion of some resources is inherently problematic (data loss, money, etc). In cases where there is significant potential user issues from an accidental deletion, we want to provide additional warning messages at plan time about the deletion.

Research direction
Start by examining how the SDK represents resources and how plan-time deletions are surfaced to Terraform providers. The issue names a resource-level DeleteWarning but no files, entry points, tests, or exact API shape; done would require defining and implementing that warning behavior and covering its plan-time output.
