The microsoft documentation allows "id" to be a number or an unquoted
string in a resource definition statement, such as "ICON resource",
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/rc_0011.htm
but to refer to an "id" in control statements, such as "ICON control",
required a quoted string up until recently, as described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/rc_0vxo.htm
with the syntax defined in greater detail at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/rc_7rlf.htm
Hence, the need to use one syntax for definitions, "id", and another
syntax for references, e.g. "resref" in the proposed fix.
