Description
Improve handling of code using references. These act a bit differently and cannot be invalidated / connected-to.
Reductions involving them specifically may be useful, such as removing them or converting them to wires (especially if some reductions don't/can't handle them well).

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the reduction implementation and the handling of RefType ports and operations, then determine which reductions cannot invalidate or connect them. Done should mean the supported behavior is defined and reductions can remove or convert these references where appropriate, with coverage for the chosen cases.
