Description

Right now the reference tests in this package use their own logic. It isn't super complex but it is more or less the same as what ReferenceTests.jl does for strings.

It might be good to just use ReferenceTests.jl for a more consistent developer experience

Research direction
Examine the current reference test implementation in the repository, likely under test/ directory. Review the ReferenceTests.jl documentation and package to understand its API. Then, refactor the existing reference test code to use ReferenceTests.jl for string comparisons. No linked PRs or comments indicate prior work.
