I don't know about you, but I'm not that fast with any resource
editor, and I think it would take me a while to create over 10000
forms and write code for them all. :-) So long, in fact, that I
think I would be unlikely to ever do it.
Constructor creates forms on incrementing 100 boundaries, so the
first form is 1100, the second 1200, etc. Within a form, resources
are assigned incrementing numbers based on the form ID, so the first
resource in the first form is 1101, the second resource in the first
form is 1102, etc.
A neat side-effect of this is that is you get an error say with
resource 2421 with you are supposed to be working on form 4900, then
you know you have a naming problem and very quickly trace it down.
But it you want to have 89 or more forms, you have to identify some
small forms (with few resources) and ensure they are create on (say)
boundaries of 25 instead of the default of 100.
