-Near references designate objects in the same [[vat]], and so they can be the recipients of [[immediate call]]s. Near references cannot change [[reference state|state]] to [[broken reference|broken]].
-Ordinary objects in the same vat (<code>[[LiteralExpr|"foo"]]</code>, <code>[[ObjectExpr|def foo {...}]]</code>, <code>[[ConstList|[1, 2, 3]]], etc.</code>) are near references.
