That won't be possible anyway -- I realized that by the time
we're doing the deNote operation (handling note citations inside
notes), the brackets are gone, replaced by a note, and we really
can't distinguish the two forms.  So we would need a chance to
pandoc-types.

Right, I do understand that.  I was exploring what could be done
without any changes to the syntax of citations, though.

Yes, this could be done, but then you won't be able to switch
effortlessly between author-date and note styles -- you'd have
to know ahead of time that you were working in a note style.
(In non-note styles, citeproc itself will add delimiters
according to the style, e.g. parens.)
