+When a reference is made to another code block, the referenced block will be

+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
