2. When schemas are recursive (or mutually recursive) resolving references would result in self-referencing recursive data-structures that can be difficult to process.
3. There are cases when such inlining would also require adding (or modyfing) `id` attribute in the inlined schema fragment to make the resulting schema equivalent.
There were many conversations about the meaning of `$ref` in [JSON Schema GitHub organisation](https://github.com/json-schema-org). The consesus is that while it is possible to treat `$ref` as schema inclusion with two caveats (above), this interpretation is unnecessary complex. A more efficient approach is to treat `$ref` as a delegation, i.e. a special keyword that validates the current data instance against the referenced schema. The analogy with programming languages is that `$ref` is a function call rather than a macro. See [here](https://github.com/json-schema-org/json-schema-spec/issues/279), for example.

##### How can I generate a schema where `$ref` keywords are replaced with referenced schemas?
