Hi Bruce,

This is actually a thought that occurred to me recently, and I’ve been
considering bringing up on the ML. Thanks for mentioning this.

A more sophisticated solution probably exists, but my thought was that if a cite
export keyword like this is seen:
┌────
│ #+cite_export: FORMAT ...
└────

and there is no known cite backend `FORMAT', then we could just try running
┌────
│ (require 'oc-FORMAT nil t)
└────

before complaining that there’s no cite backend FORMAT loaded.

This relies on consistent naming, but since that seems to hold pretty well so
far and failure to load just results in the current behaviour, I’m inclined to
think this would be a good change in terms of user experience.

All the best,
Timothy
