After having created a widget, I find I need to modify one of its resources,
but the situation is such that I can't know what the representation type is,
and all I have is a String representation of the resource value.

It appears to me that there is no way to invoke the proper resource converter
without knowledge of the representation type.  The XtCreate() function
accomplishes this, but there doesn't seem to be any of doing it after widget
creation.  Am I overlooking something, or is this an unanticipated toolkit need?
