Re: Could --biblatex use autocite instead of autocites so as to support numeric-comp style?

[jiewuza <jiewuza-9Onoh4P/yGk@public.gmane.org>]

Also I was rethinking what you have proposed:

```
I believe we use autocites because in principle each
of the citations could have prefix, suffix, and
locator, and this would be impossible to represent
with autocite. Of course, in the case where there
are no prefix, suffix, or locator, autocite could
be used instead, and maybe it should.  Does anyone
have opinions on this?
```

I think it should.
Even such a macro can be defined, it does not work
when there are prefix, suffix, and locator.

While on the other hand, it is common that there
are no prefix, suffix, or locator, and autocite is preferred.
