Yes, that would work, but what I need is \cite{} as the first one, followed 
by \autocite{}. What Pandoc gives is \textcite{}… \autocite{}. That 
produces a different result in SBL (or any Chicago-based footnote) BibLaTeX 
style. At the moment, as far as I can tell, there's no way to get Pandoc to 
generate a \cite{} command, which is what I need.

For some BibLaTeX the choice between \textcite{} and \autocite{} is 
sufficient to cover most use cases. But for the SBL style, it's very 
difficult to write without access to at least \cite{} as well, and I'm 
wondering whether you'd consider adding some syntax to allow \cite{} to be 
called.

Does that make more sense?
