The package is provided to help users avoid cross-reference errors; it replaces \ref with \figureref, \sectionref, \eqref, etc., so that you're forced to specify the kind of label you’re referencing. Each reference command also generates appropriate text automatically, so that instead of typing Figure~\ref{figure:key}, all you need is \figureref{figure:key}. The \label command is redefined to record the type with the label defined, so that each type of label has its own namespace.

See also prettyref saferef.
