Hi all,
It looks like this is not a supported style for the new cite syntax:

[cite/author*:@swain-2016-chemd]

I think it should be allowed, because it maps cleanly to the natbib cite
type of \citeauthor*. There are a bunch of other starred types as well.
that would be nicer than something like [cite/author/star:@swain-2016-chemd]
or [cite/author-star:@swain-2016-chemd] IMO.

Are you aware can do this now, which will output consistent formatting
across natbib and biblatex export processors, and I expect in the
future too csl:

[cite/a/f:@low2001]

BTW, Nicolas added a helpful function towards the end, which returns
both the full style and variant and names, and also the shortcuts.
