fill and strings

At the moment you can pass two things to fill, a resource and a string. 
In XML this is determined automatically (as you have no option but to
put them both in quotes).  In JS, it is manual and this is causing
problems:

$box.fill = .resource or $box.fill = "#color"

If .resource is an arbitrary value (ie calculated at run time), then you
can only set it using a string (you can't create an arbitrary resource
using .path.to.resource syntax) but I cannot get this to work.

All of the following do nothing for me:

$box.fill = ".resource";
$box.fill = "ibex..resource";
$box.fill = ibex[".resource"];  // which is the most likely
$box.fill = ibex["resource"];
$box.fill = ibex["..resource"];

Am I doing something wrong here, or missing something?

This also exposes another bug.  If you pass an invalid color/resource to
fill, there is no error generated.  It just silently fails when it
should be saying "color or resource X not found".
