Yes, it would be nice if we had a little more control in some of the
class traversals but for the large majority of things it isn't needed.
In this particular case, one is probably adding resources that the
parent class does not know about and so a SetValues won't cause a
redisplay.  Also, if performance is really that critical, a function
call is a good solution.
