We often use cite, citenum in one document. I don't use citeauthor, but
have manually written something like "Doe et al said... cite:Doe99",
which could be written with a citeauthor like command I think. There are
similar use cases for a citeyear command. It is not too far fetched to
see these four types in a document, in addition to a citep command.
