+When a reference is made to another code block, the referenced block will be
+evaluated whenever needed, in order to supply its value to the referencing
+block. If the referenced block is cached (see @ref{cache}), its value will
+be reused if possible, instead of being re-calculated. If the referring code
+block is cached, its hash value will depend on the value of all the code
+blocks it references. This system can thus be used to create a system of
+as-needed re-evaluation among code blocks similar to that provided by

Argument values can be indexed in a manner similar to arrays (see @ref{var,
Indexable variable values}).
