        args:  A set of string or int arguments.
               each integer selects one of obj's referrers to be the new 'obj'
               each string indicates an action to take on the current 'obj':
                  t:  print the types of obj's referrers
                  l:  print the lengths of obj's referrers (if they have __len__)
                  i:  print the IDs of obj's referrers
                  o:  print obj
                  ro: return obj
                  rr: return list of obj's referrers
    
    Examples:
       searchRefs(obj, 't')                    ## Print types of all objects referring to obj
       searchRefs(obj, 't', 0, 't')            ##   ..then select the first referrer and print the types of its referrers
       searchRefs(obj, 't', 0, 't', 'l')       ##   ..also print lengths of the last set of referrers
       searchRefs(obj, 0, 1, 'ro')             ## Select index 0 from obj's referrer, then select index 1 from the next set of referrers, then return that object
