Two related changes:
* ValidateNoRefAccessInRender now allows the mergeRefs pattern, ie a function that aggregates multiple refs into a new ref. This is the main case where we have seen false positive no-ref-in-render errors.
* Behind `@enableTreatRefLikeIdentifiersAsRefs`, we infer values passed as the `ref` prop to some JSX as refs.
The second change is potentially helpful for situations such as
```js
function Component({ref: parentRef}) {
const childRef = useRef(null);
const mergedRef = mergeRefs(parentRef, childRef);
useEffect(() => {
// generally accesses childRef, not mergedRef
}, []);
return <Foo ref={mergedRef} />;
}
```
Ie where you create a merged ref but don't access its `.current` property. Without inferring `ref` props as refs, we'd fail to allow this merge refs case.
React Compiler
React Compiler is a compiler that optimizes React applications, ensuring that only the minimal parts of components and hooks will re-render when state changes. The compiler also validates that components and hooks follow the Rules of React.
More information about the design and architecture of the compiler are covered in the Design Goals.
More information about developing the compiler itself is covered in the Development Guide.
