Regrettably, wikitext does actually pretty much everything inside references
except other references (though some, ahem, "enterprising" users have found a
way around that intentional limit). Examples:

  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor:TestReferenceContents

Maybe we can discourage users from doing these things in some way, but we can't
just not support this, as users have to be able to edit these back into a more
rational use.

(The reason that these were removed are that you're not allowed lists in image
captions; we're clearly going to have to split what things the sub-editors can
allow by type. Created that as bug 49657.)
