Bare oc-csl author variants?

Bare oc-csl author variants?

Hi All,

I was recently citing something and wanted to mention the author and so tried
[cite/a/b:@] and was surprised to see it didn’t work. Looking at oc-csl.el I see
that we only define the following author variants:
• `a/c'
• `a/f'
• `a/cf'

Is there any reason why we haven’t added `a/b', `a/bc', `a/bf', `a/bcf' ?
From a quick test, this seems to work as expected:
┌────
│ (`(,(or "author" "a") . ,variant)
│  (pcase variant
│    ((or "caps" "b") '(:mode author-only :suppress-affixes t))
│    ((or "caps" "c") '(:mode author-only :capitalize-first t))
│    ((or "full" "f") '(:mode author-only :ignore-et-al t))
│    ((or "bare-caps" "bc") '(:mode author-only :suppress-affixes t :capitalize-first t))
│    ((or "bare-full" "bf") '(:mode author-only :suppress-affixes t :ignore-et-al t))
│    ((or "caps-full" "cf") '(:mode author-only :capitalize-first t :ignore-et-al t))
│    ((or "bare-caps-full" "bcf") '(:mode author-only :suppress-affixes t :capitalize-first t :ignore-et-al t))
│    (_ '(:mode author-only))))
└────

All the best,
Timothy

There is a reason, though it may not be the strongest.

It's just odd to have a name without any other citation marker. How
would a reader know it's a citation?

Is it for cases similar to what Rudy asked about the other day, where
you basically have a split citation?

    Doe says "something" (2019, p2).

In his case, he was wanting to do:

    Doe (2019) says "something" (p2).

If so, may as well add them.

Hi  Bruce,

For context, I’m basically just using this as a way to insert the author’s name
without any chance of typos.

Some thing was introduced in Doe (2019), and some comments about it.
To demonstrate X, Doe considers … which allows Doe to ….

All the best,
Timothy

Right.

I don't see any downside in adding them myself.

These would be equivalent to things like \citeauthor{key} in natbib I think.

Hi  All,

Sounds like the general attitude is “why not?”. So I’ve turned my snippet into a
patch and unless any concerns are raised in the next few days I’ll push it to
main.

All the best,
Timothy

For parity, it would probably make sense to add the equivalent to
oc-natbib and oc-biblatex if someone gets a chance.
