Function to set by reference the "instr.desc" attribute of an existing
generic_spct or derived-class object, or of a
summary_generic_spct or derived-class object.
setInstrDesc(x, instr.desc)instr_descriptor(x) <- value
x, with the value of its "instr.desc" attribute set to
the value of the argument passed to instr.desc or to value.
a generic_spct object or a summary_generic_spct
object.
a list, instr_desc object, or
NULL.
This function alters x itself by reference and in addition
returns x invisibly. If x is not a generic_spct object,
x is not modified, silently. If inst.desc = NULL is passed
in the call, the attribute "instr.desc" is removed.
This function is very rarely called from user code.
