A TypeReference accepts a specification for a type and searches for the corresponding type in the type system according to this specification. Different TypeReferences might resolve to the same Type. This class is used during the use case, when a Typir type uses other types for its properties, e.g. class types use other types from the type system for describing the types of its fields ("use existing type").
The internal logic of a TypeReference is independent from the kind of the type to resolve. A TypeReference takes care of the lifecycle of the types.
Once the type is resolved, listeners are notified about this and all following changes of its state.
