Re: wip-cite status question and feedback

[John Kitchin]

and for completeness from the org-ref point of view, probably all of

functions to get a list of bib sources from a hierarchy of local
definitions in the buffer to env vars, to a default source variable
defined in elisp. I think something similar is done in the
bibtex-completion commands.
