This patch replaces some uses of `Reference::get` to `Reference::refersTo` to avoid keeping a referent strongly reachable that could cause unnecessary delay in collecting such object. I only made change in some but not all classes in core libraries when working with Kim on `Reference::refersTo`. The remaining uses are left for the component owners to convert at appropriate time.
