-- Parse a references spec as used in the |ref= param to {{IPA}} and {{IPAchar}} and soon the |fNref= param to {{head}}.
--
-- Multiple references are separated by !!! (optionally with spaces around it), and the equivalent of
-- <ref name="bendo">{{R:it:DiPI|bendo}}</ref><ref>{{R:it:Olivetti}}</ref> can be specified using a syntax like the following:
-- {{IPA|it|ˈben.do|ˈbɛn.do|ref2={{R:it:DiPI|bendo}}<<name:bendo>> !!! {{R:it:Olivetti}}}}
-- To include a group as in,<ref name="bendo" group="pron">...</ref> use:
-- {{IPA|it|ˈben.do|ˈbɛn.do|ref2={{R:it:DiPI|bendo}}<<name:bendo>><<group:pron>>}}
-- To reference a prior name, as in <ref name="bendo"/>, leave the reference text blank:
-- {{IPA|it|ˈben.do|ˈbɛn.do|ref2=<<name:bendo>>}}
-- Similarly, to reference a prior name in a particular group, as in <ref name="bendo" group="pron"/>, use:
-- {{IPA|it|ˈben.do|ˈbɛn.do|ref2=<<name:bendo>><<group:pron>>}}
--
-- The return value consists of a list of objects of the form {text = TEXT, name = NAME, group = GROUP}.
-- This is the same format as is expected in the part.refs in [[Module:headword]] and item.refs in
-- [[Module:IPA]].
