Config::DoResolve patch

The attached patch addresses an issue with Config::Set/Connect methods.

Just an example of what is/was the issue.  Let's say I have class A with attribute 'X' and class B that is derived from class A.  Let also assume that object of class B is aggregated to a Node with id 0.

Config::Set ("/NodeList/0/$B/X", StringValue ('some-value'));

While such a code is totally legitimate, Config::DoResolve  didn't properly resolve the attribute path in parent's classes.

This patch seems useful. Can we check its correctness with some tests and, in case, apply it ?

Either, is there a reason to not wanting this enhancement ?
