 * @param expression The expression to scan, typically the raw `calculatedExpression` value.
 * @param replaceReference Receives each bracketed reference (without the brackets); the return
 *   value replaces the bracketed token in the output expression.
 * @returns The expression with each reference replaced; returns the input verbatim when no
 *   bracket references are present.
