Actually, that won't print the author name of =smith=. AFAIK If you want to
suppress the author in the first citation but not in the second, you need to be
even more low-level:
\citeauthor{Chomsky1995} (\cite*[34]{Chomsky1995}, \cite{Kayne1994})
At least that's the only way I've been able to find.
IOW it seems that in biblatex, suppress-author (obtained by the asterisk
following the command) is a property of the citation command, even if it
includes multiple citations. OTOH there are real cases (I have written
references such as the example here myself) where you want it to be a property
of the individual citation.
The thing about biblatex is that it offers low-level commands that allow you to
create unusual citations (my default LaTeX header contains three definitions of
citation commands that biblatex doesn't provide but which I use quite a lot). So
I would argue that it's better to keep the syntax =-@key=, just to keep the
system flexible in case the need arises.
