I took another look at this and tried to simplify things. The main
points were:
- there is a real bug
- it can be fixed by relying on get_reference() more
- but there was some discussion about what get_reference() does, so
I added some documentation first
Hopefully those main points were adequately conveyed in the new commit
messages, and I didn't oversimplify things.
There was some discussion about whether get_reference() should treat
corrupt objects as missing. After some thought, I think the best
argument for doing so is that this has been its behavior for some time,
and have wrote that in the first commit.
