Summary:
This change expands our handling of refs to build an understanding of nested refs within objects and functions that may return refs. It builds a special-purpose type system within the ref analysis that gives a very lightweight structural type to objects and array expressions (merging the types of all their members), and then propagating those types throughout the analysis (e.g., if `ref` has type `Ref`, then `{ x: ref }` and `[ref]` have type `Structural(value=Ref)` and `{x: ref}.anything` and `[ref][anything]` have type `Ref`).
This allows us to support structures that contain refs, and functions that operate over them, being created and passed around during rendering without at runtime accessing a ref value.
The analysis here uses a fixpoint to allow types to be fully propagated through the system, and we defend against diverging by widening the type of a variable if it could grow infinitely: so, in something like
```
let x = ref;
while (condition) {
x = [x]
}
```
we end up giving `x` the type `Structural(value=Ref)`.

React Compiler
React Compiler is a compiler that optimizes React applications, ensuring that only the minimal parts of components and hooks will re-render when state changes. The compiler also validates that components and hooks follow the Rules of React.
More information about the design and architecture of the compiler are covered in the Design Goals.
More information about developing the compiler itself is covered in the Development Guide.
