This class represent a resource description (type or name).

Resources are identified by a type, name and (optionally) a language ID.

Type and name can be either a name (a string identifier) or an ID (an integer identifier in the range 0..65535).

Remark:

Unfortunately, name is used both to refer to a the name of the resource and both to the format of a resource description

Example:

Typically, a Windows executable has a main icon, which is a resource of type RT_GROUP_ICON (type is an ID) and name MAINICON (name is a name).
