Converting this PR to a draft as we are discussing on the Chapel team about making the ref changes unstable, rather than generating a deprecation warning (meaning that we wouldn't need to make the changes in Arkouda). If we end up making it unstable, I will undo all the ref changes, which will lessen the impact/size of this round of deprecations on Arkouda.
