Missing feature: generic configure/cget for tk::Widget<Inst> #22

Description

@RobertPHeller

If one has a frame (or really any container widget) that contains a bunch of button widgets, and one ones to enable or disable those button features, with real Tcl/Tk one can do something like

foreach b [winfo children .frameofbuttons] {
    $b configure -state $someState
}

In rust the obvious code would be comething like

for b in frame.winfo_children()?.iter() {
    b.configure(-state(somestate))?;
}

But this does not work, because b is a tk::Widget, not something like TtkButton (or any of the other possible button widgets). There also does not seem to be any way to go from a generic tk::Widget to a specific widget type. There is a hole here. (Yes, rust does not do polymorphism -- which also sucks).
