// This is a backward-compatibility layer for data sources that were formerly
// read-only resources before the data source concept was added. It should not
// be used for any *new* data sources.
//
// The Read function for the data source *must* call d.SetId with a non-empty
// id in order for this shim to function as expected.
//
// The provided Resource instance, and its schema, will be modified in-place
// to make it suitable for use as a full resource.
