Is it me, or are files specified with --bibliography not searched for in 
the directories specified by --resource-path?

Correct, currently they are not.
This could be changed, I suppose.
If we used fetchItem instead of readFileStrict, then we'd get
both (a) searching of resource paths and (b) the ability
to specify bibliographies at URLs.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

A related question regarding paths: for someone like me that use pandoc on 
different systems with different home directories, it would be wonderful if 
'~' or '$HOME' or something similar in YAML blocks could be expanded to the 
home directory. Or some other way of specifying paths relative to the home 
directory. That way, I could use the exact same configuration files on all 
systems.
