OK.

So you mean there is no equivalent to both

  (ebib-cur-entry-key)

and

  (ebib-db-get-field-value 'title key ebib-cur-db)

?

"org-ebib.el" is already compatible with Org 9.0.

I'm Cc'ing the author. Ideally this library should be updated to new
Ebib and moved to some ELPA.

If Grégoire doesn't want to take care of it and no one volunteers to
maintain that file, we can remove it.

We should at least wait for a week in any case.
