 * Allows to inject additional references into an element that supports reference contributors.

 * Note that, if you're implementing a custom language, it won't by default support references registered through PsiReferenceContributor.
 * If you want to support that, you need to call
 * {@link com.intellij.psi.impl.source.resolve.reference.ReferenceProvidersRegistry#getReferencesFromProviders(PsiElement)} from your implementation
 * of PsiElement.getReferences().
