Previously, this variable was necessary because of auto-vivification on UNDEF/NULL/false. It's now only used for RC inference. However, auto-vivification has been removed. This implicitly solves an inference problem for $obj->bar &= $obj; where we get a new variable for both literal references to $obj, with the first one getting the RCn flag, and the second one getting the MAY_BE_REFERENCE flag. Thus, the first variable will be missing the reference type, causing a false-positive type inference warning. If we want to verify RC inference at some point we'll need a better solution.
