Taco,
I just ran into the same question. When using a citation style that
doesn't quote the year (like refcommand=num), it seems more logical
to drop the maybeyear letter. It seems to work setting
\def\maybeyear{\gobbleoneargument}
I haven't seen any side effects yet, but maybe I'm missing something.
Would it be possible to make this behavior a global option/value?
Best
Thomas
