Add a reference location to the list of references for this specific Referencable. Adding references is gated so that we can control when references are collected. This must be called from some part of the validation logic to establish the references.

Collects all related Referenceable instances, including the current method and all parent and child methods in the shadow hierarchy.

Get Dependents being held, default to empty for holders who do not use this, override as needed

Convert dependencies into a summary format

Test if this method matches the provided params when fulfilling an interface method. The basic approach here is that each param of the interface method must be assignable to the implMethod so that only widening of the types is supported.

Collect all reference locations for this Referencable. The basic approach here is to collect references to things during a revalidation pass. The ReferenceProvider uses this.

Test if this params are compatible with those passed. Ideally this would just be a comparison of type names but there is a quirk in how platform generic interfaces are handled.

Determine if this params is a more specific version of the passed params. For this to be true all the parameters of this parameters must be assignable to the corresponding parameter of the other method. However, when dealing with RecordSets (SOQL results) we also prioritise degrees of specificness and use those to select as well.

Test if the passed method has params compatible with this method. Ideally this would just be a comparison of type names but there is a quirk in how platform generic interfaces are handled.

Is the holder within test code

Inform each dependent this is holding a dependency to them

Referencable must be able to provide a TypeId for the containing type to support revalidation.

The TypeId for the containing type of the holder, optional as requires a module.
