But the hard part of e.g. the citation syntax is not the parser. The
hart part are the semantics. The discussion in this thread is not
about aesthectics of the syntax (at least that's not the main part),
but about what the right abstraction is.

The other hard part is implementing the machinery to make citations
really great, i.e. jumping to the right entry in any of the different
possible citation backends etc.
