That's debatable :-)

> Regarding the style vs minus question : in pandoc you can’t have a thing such as this syntax :  [cite/text:@key1;@key2]. So using symbols is the only possibility. Org is different in this regard. Possibly you could use a special style for that. But the symbol based syntax can give you a nice shorthand.

The minus symbol somewhat confuses the issue in org.

What prompted this thread was me wondering whether suppress-author
should just be a style on the citation, so that you have:

 [cite/suppress-author:@key1;@key2].

... or even:

 [cite/-:@key1;@key2].

This is how it works in the bibtex/biblatex world; right?
