NAME
       Test2::Util::Ref - Tools for inspecting or manipulating references.


DESCRIPTION
       These are used by Test2::Tools to inspect, render, or manipulate references.


EXPORTS
       All exports are optional. You must specify subs to import.

       $type = rtype($ref)
           A normalization between Scalar::Util::reftype() and ref().

           Always returns a string.

           Returns 'REGEXP' for regex types

           Returns '' for non-refs

           Otherwise returns what Scalar::Util::reftype() returns.

       $addr_str = render_ref($ref)
           Always returns a string. For unblessed references this returns something like "SCALAR(0x...)". For
           blessed references it returns "My::Thing=SCALAR(0x...)". The only difference between this and
           $add_str = "$thing" is that it ignores any overloading to ensure it is always the ref address.
