System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: Quadro FX 2800M/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 3.3.0

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.90.0 Beta, branch: master, commit date: 2020-07-26 20:02, hash: blender/blender@04195b1e74
Worked: possibly always / never

Addon Information
Name: Workspace manipulation example / error?
Author: Maurice Raybaud

Short description of error
Attempted script does switch a few editor types through Python, as requested. But other types get changed to new ones only in the header rolldown button, while the rest of the area keeps the old types. Documentation did not show enough examples, from what I could find, so I may have done only a lot of stupid things, the point would then be to ask for added clues, (I am unclear about the different levels purpose between area / spaces...region? /... Another question is : how do we set read only variables such as area.space.width?

If the explanation is indeed nowhere, maybe it could be added, for instance in Area.type docs...?

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
povWorkspace.py
Provided sample povWorkspace.py file, to be launched in a terminal with blender --python povWorkspace.py

Using factory default blend file.
