This CSS exists since I2ab47e7 from August 2014. The original idea
was to dim the default "General references" when you edit a <ref> or
<references> list in VisualEditor.
Steps to reproduce:
* Start VisualEditor.
* Edit a <ref> or <references> list.
* Edit the group.
* You will see the dimmed text "General references". This is not the
CSS in this patch, but the default styling for OOUI placeholders.
* Open the dropdown. The list will show a "General references" item.
It's not dimmed. This is where the CSS was meant to be.
The CSS class name in the OOUI mixin was actually changed from
"oo-ui-flaggableElement-…" to "oo-ui-flaggedElement-…" via I1abecd8,
just a few days later.
In addition the selector wouldn't work anyway for other reasons.
The dropdown is not inside the `.ve-ui-mwReferenceGroupInputWidget`
container any more but placed outside by the OOUI window manager.
And the selector's specifity is to low, at least since Ic57b3ff.
I argue it's not worth fixing it. Nobody missed it for 10 years.
Light gray text would be illegible anyway on the light gray/light
blue backgrounds used in the dropdown menu. Let's consider it dead
code and just remove it.
The class name doesn't appear anywhere else (any more):

Some of the annotations were used in a way that confused jsdoc. This
cleans up redundant annotations and uses more canonical tags.
These changes cause all classes to now appear in the generated pages.
Includes linking to external docs.

I assume the code was using lastIndexOf as some kind of performance
optimization. Certain StackOverflow threads suggest it without going
into detail. It's not correct here. You can actually name a group
"mwReference/", which will result in the (valid) internal name
"mwReference/mwReference/". This works as expected with indexOf but
not with lastIndexOf.

This code has been developed over three years now in the repo of MediaWiki's
integration of VisualEditor. It has grown and developed significantly during
that time, but now is pretty stable. A number of hacks inside the MediaWiki-
VisualEditor code base have been used to prevent this code from being loaded
on wikis where the Cite extension is not deployed, but this state of affairs
is and always was meant to be temporary.
This code is under the MIT licence which is a tad messy, but not impossible.
It's clearly labelled as such. The list of authors has been updated to take
into account the influx of new functionality.
