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 Gr=C3=A9goire 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.
