reference formatting

With \definereferenceformat[pin][left=(,right=)] it is possible to  
typeset references with
	\pin[ref] and get "(ref)"

I have two questions in this respect:

1. is it possible to change the general setup in the same way,
	e.g. let \in[ref] do the same as \pin[ref] here.
	The left and right are not in setupreferencing.

2. some strange interchange takes place when using \pin{A}{B}[ref].
	Instead of the expected "A (ref) B" one gets "A (refB);
	it therefore seems the right parenthesis from the setup comes too  
late in play.

Don't know about this.

As I understand referencing, this is the expected behaviour. I think 
that \in{..}{..}[...] was for things like

As seen in \in{Figure}{a}[fig]...

that is when you want to refer to a subfigure (or a subformula). That is 
why there is no space between the number and the content in the second 
{..}

This is what core-ref.tex says

%D \placefigure
%D   [here][three calls]
%D   {Three alternatives reference calls.}
%D   {\startcombination[1*3]
%D      {\framed{\type{ \in }}} {a}
%D      {\framed{\type{ \at }}} {b}
%D      {\framed{\type{\goto}}} {c}
%D    \stopcombination}
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \in figure[fig:three calls]
%D \in{figure}[fig:three calls]
%D \in figure a[fig:three calls]
%D \in{figure}{a}[fig:three calls]
%D figure~\in[fig:three calls]
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D This turns up as:
%D
%D \startlines
%D \getbuffer
%D \stoplines

I was not aware of that the braces around figure can be omitted!

I finally came up with this, a bit of a kludge I admit:
\let\originalin=\in
\definereferenceformat[parenthesizedin][left=(,right=),command= 
\originalin]
\let\in=\parenthesizedin

I has not understood it that way, but thought it was meant to enclose  
the whole reference. I see the point now.

Be careful with this. There are two places in the source that use \in 
command. You will get parenthesis around them also.

If you do not use those commands (\inline and I do not remember the 
second one, I checked that yesterday), then even

\definereferenceformat[in][left=(,right=)] should work.
