refs

Inputs

var

an object

Outputs

var-ref

a var-ref

Word description
Creates a reference to the given variable. Note that this reference behaves just like any variable when it comes to dynamic scope. For example, if you use set-ref in an inner scope and then leave that scope, then calling get-ref may not return the expected value. If this is not what you want, try using an obj-ref instead.
