This feels somewhat backwards, and it makes me wonder if it is a
better approach to teach update_ref() about the naming rules, so
that the callers do not have to say the same thing twice "This is
not a ref and I am giving all-caps name, by the way I am also not
calling update_ref() because that is only for real refs".
