By block reference I meant when variables are assigned to the values of
blocks through reference.  So in the following example the "number"
block has its body returned through "reference expansion".

#+source: number
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  4
#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var num=number
  (* num 2)
#+end_src
