Hi all, if I create a `new aws.Provider(region, { region })` everything on the class is now an `Output` … how can I access the region as a string elsewhere in the code, which was statically defined on creation?

I am trying to do an API gateway multi-region deployment, and need to give each resource a unique name. I want to append the name of the provider to all the resources generated per provider

it’s a shame the URN doesn’t include the region

basically I’m trying to get this to work:

```const regions = ['us-west-1', 'us-east-2']
for (const region of regions) {
  const apiStack = createApiStack(new aws.Provider(region, { region  })
}```
