Documentation
Non-nil means, reftex-reference will try to guess the label type.
To do that, RefTeX will look at the word before the cursor and compare it with
the words given in reftex-label-alist. When it finds a match, RefTeX will
immediately offer the correct label menu - otherwise it will prompt you for
a label type. If you set this variable to nil, RefTeX will always prompt.
