That's an interesting point.  If your parser just
parsed the fields as RawInline (Format "latex") ---,
you could have the lua filter do a separate pass at
the beginning to try to convert all of these into
native pandoc inlines using read.

In practice, a fairly small subset of LaTeX would be
enough to handle most of what you find in bibtex
bibliographies.

Certainly you will find things like `\emph`, inline
math, and lots of escape characters like `\"{a}`.
