For the sake of speeding up the process of identifying File References in the scene and properly associating with their respective namespace/reference-node/fullpath, a set of API callbacks is set-up which triggers a file-reference cache refresh.
This callback mechanism can be suspended temporarily, which is useful when a process needs to change the state of several references at once (loading/unloading, adding/removing). Use the ‘deferReferenceUpdates’ function or the ‘suspendReferenceUpdates’ decorator
