The fact you don't have a better name for it than "trigraph reference" is
telling.

I can imagine the conversations now:
"So what is this ugly &&& thing?"
"It's a trigraph reference"
"erm, ok ... so what does it do?"
"it's a qualifier composed of three characters."
"ok, but what does it mean?"
"it's like && but 50% more."
