I had a look at drd_std.cpp, line 286, and I discovered
the instruction :
<<
init (REFERENCE, "reference", fixed (1));

Therefore, it seems that as a matter of fact, "reference"
is hardwired in the C++. To my knowledge, there is
no way to redefine markup, when it is that way...

Allowing this would be an useful improvement
of the macro-expansion interpreter. By the way,
you are not the first one to raise this problem, I
heard about this several times before.
