Description
It seems the parser automatically looks up references and turns them in to links. It would be nice to have a way to see the actual references and their definitions so we can use this library to programatically manipulate markdown documents without having all the references collapsed.
example:
> ./cmark --to commonmark <<EOF
[foo] [bar]
[bar]: /url "title"
EOF
[foo](/url "title")

Research direction
Start with the cmark parser and the reference-link handling exercised by the command-line example. Determine how references and their definitions can be exposed without collapsing them into links; done means programmatic users can inspect those definitions while the existing example output remains supported.
