Seems like a reasonable thing to add.  Once merged, we should probably add (and
backpatch) a mention to the docs that the functionality will be removed in v20.

As you suggested, here's the back-branch doc change noting that refint
will be removed in v20, pointing users to the built-in foreign key
functionality.

I extended the existing paragraph (following the xml2/intagg deprecation
style) rather than adding a separate note. Intended for back-patch to all
supported branches (13-19).

Thoughts?

Regards,
Ayush
