 * define a reference to a domain.object or domain.object.property

 * for example
 * - `ref(Ship)` produces a reference to the `Ship` domain object
 * - `ref(Ship, 'isid')` produces a reference to the `Ship.isid` property
 *
 * note
 * - this method uses type overloads to support typing different outputs per inputs
 *   - if only `dobj` is passed in, refDomainObject is called, and it's return type is returned
 *   - if both `dobj` and `prop` are passed in, refProperty is called, and its return type is returned
