<b>Misc</b></p>

properties.</li>
<li>Added <code>GenericResource.Data</code> read-only data bytes for unsupported resource
types.</li>
<li>Interface change: renamed <code>StringResource</code> to <code>StringTableEntry</code>
to accommodate for actual string resource support.</li>
<li>Interface change: added <code>ResourceId</code> that represents well-known and custom
resources alike and provides comparison and hashing that works for all resource
Id types. Both <code>Resource.Name</code> and <code>Resource.Type</code> now return
<code>ResourceId</code> and public interfaces that accepted an <code>IntPtr</code>
now require a <code>ResourceId</code>.</li>
<li>Interface change: <code>GroupIconResource</code> was renamed to <code>IconDirectoryResource</code>.</li>
<li><code>Resource.Name</code> is no longer read-only.</li>
<li><code>IconImage</code> was extended and renamed to <code>DeviceIndependentBitmap</code>.
The latter supports separating mask and color, etc.</li>
<li>Automatically appending a second null-terminator to <code>StringResource</code>
when required. Internal storage is now always with two null terminators.</li>
<li>Added VersionResource.ToString() that returns a standard resource file string representation
of the version resource and all its tables.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Bugs</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Bug: error deleting an English version resource which was loaded as language-neutral.</li>
<li>Bug: custom resources with literal string names return an invalid value in <code>
Resource.Name</code> and <code>Resource.Type</code>.</li>
<li>Bug: <code>StringResource</code> length in its header is incorrect after the value
is updated.</li>
<li>Bug: <code>VersionResource.Write</code> erroneously included padding in the structure
size.</li>
