Cool! Thanks for this. I understand the Fireforg project provides part 
of this functionality (integrated with Zotero), but this free-standing 
tool looks helpful. Three quick comments:

- I tried to just put this on my load path and require it, but there 
seems to be a name conflict with the existing org-bibtex.el, which 
provides for BibTeX links.

- Trying to create a book type entry, I get prompted only for 
`:editor', not for `:author'.

- Fireforg namespaces the property names with a `BIB_', e.g. 
`:BIB_author:', and some people might find that useful as an option.

- I'd find it helpful with a user option for org-bibtex-fleshout to 
prompt for optional fields as well.

Yours,
Christian
