/// StringReferences are 'holes' in the generated JavaScript that are filled in
/// by the emitter with code to access a large string.
///
/// The Dart code
///
///     foo1() => 'A very long string';
///
/// might be compiled to something like the following, where StringReference1 is
/// assocatied with the string `'A very long string'`.
///
///     foo1: function() {
///       return StringReference1;
///     }
///
/// The dart method `foo2` would be compiled separately, with the generated code
/// containing StringReference2, also 3 referring to `int`:
///
///     foo2() => 'A very long string';
/// -->
///     foo2: function() {
///       return StringReference2;
///     }
///
/// When the code for an output unit (main unit or deferred loaded unit) is
/// assembled, there will also be a StringReferenceResource 'hole', so the
/// assembled looks something like
///
///     foo: function() {
///       return StringReference1;
///     }
///     foo2: function() {
///       return StringReference2;
///     }
///     ...
///     StringReferenceResource
///
/// The StringReferenceFinalizer decides on a strategy for accessing the
/// strings. In most cases a string will have one reference and it should be
/// generated in-place. Shared strings can be referenced via a object. The
/// StringReference nodes are filled in with property access expressions and the
/// StringReferenceResource is filled in with the precomputed data, something
/// like:
///
///     foo1: function() {
///       return string$.A_very;
///     }
///     foo2: function() {
///       return string$.A_very;
///     }
///     ...
///     var string$ = {
///       A_very: "A very long string",
///     };
///
/// In minified mode, the properties (`A_very`) can be replaced by shorter
/// names.
