The tree "reference" *is* evaluated, but to itself...
In general, if you yant to force evaluation,
you may use the "quasi" and "unquote" primitives.

This is actually a bug (well, a small one, since this was not
needed by anyone until recently): the "reference" primitive is
only evaluated by the typesetter, not by the macro language.
I probably did that so, because the typesetter also adds
a hyperlink. I will correct this bug as soon as possible.
Please remind if I forget to do so for the next version.

Best wishes, Joris
