What is the "definition of the truth" for Xlib?  There are a few
discrepancies between the code and the documentation, and I don't know
which one to trust.  An example is the definition of a resource name:
the docs say (around page 224) that only alphanumerics, underscores,
and dashes are allowed in component names, but XrmStringToQuarkList et
al cheerfully accept all manner of "illegal" characters.
