ReferenceByName

class ReferenceByName<N : PossiblyNamed>(val name: String, initialReferred: N? = null) : Serializable

A reference associated by using a name. It can be used only to refer to Nodes and not to other values.

This is not statically enforced as we may want to use some interface, which cannot extend Node. However, this is enforced dynamically.
