As I started trying to improve our Ruby API for references, I realized that a lot about is a bit weird at the moment. I will try to improve the type safety and quality as part of better exposing references in the API.
This PR ensures that we have specialized reference IDs for each declaration entity. It does not make sense to have a
Constantdeclaration with aMethodReferenceassociated to it, so this change prevents that from happening.It does mean that we need to narrow types in a few places, but I think that's an acceptable trade-off for much better type safety.
Note: we don't yet index global, class or instance variable references. I already added the IDs because it's easier to make this refactor with proper types. Also, we do need to index those references too, so this is a change towards that as well.
