        """ Returns resolved Share or Node instance from ipath
            ipath may be path name of share or node
            or reference to Share or Node instance

            This method resolves pathname strings into share and node references
            at resolve time.

            ival is optional value for share
            iown is optional ownership if True then overwrite if exists
                   otherwise do not overwrite

            if warn then will complain if the share is created.

            It allows for substitution into ipath of
            frame, framer, actor, main frame, or main framer relative names.
            So that lexically relative pathnames can
            be dynamically resolved in support of framer cloning.
            It assumes that any implied variants have been reconciled.
            If .actor is not yet instantiated then raises exception if ipath
               uses actor relative addressing. This may occur for init prerefs.

            When ipath is a string:  (not a Node or Share reference)
                the following syntax is used:

                If the path name starts with a leading '.' dot then path name is
                fully reconciled and no contextual substitutions are to be applied.

                Otherwise make subsitutions in pathname strings that begin
                with 'framer.'
                Substitute for special path part 'framer' with names of 'me' or 'main'
                Substitute for special path part 'frame' with names  of 'me' or 'main'
                Substitute for special path part 'actor' with name of 'me'

                'me' indicates substitute the current framer, frame, or actor name
                respectively.

                'main' indicates substitute the current frame's main framer or main frame
                name respectively obtained from

            When  ipath is a pathname string that resolves to a Share and ival is not None
            Then ival is used to initialize the share values.
                ival should be a share initializer:
                   valid initializers are:
                       a dict of fields and values
                       a list of duples, each a (key, value) item

                If own is True then .update(ival) is used
                Otherwise .create(ival) is used

            Requires that:
               self.store exist

               The following have already been resolved:
                   self.frame

                   self.frame.framer.main
                   self.frame.framer.main.framer

               If actor relative addressing is used then:

            where shares associated with the Actor instance may be placed when
            relative addressing is used.

            The values of the items in the **kwa argument may be either strings or

                key is the name of the associated instance attribute or action parm.
                Extract ipath, ival, iown from val

                Shares are initialized with mappings passed into share.create or

                or share.update a mapping of the form {'value': ival} whereas
