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

[John MacFarlane <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

I'm not an expert on biblatex, but the idea of using
\autocite{a,b,c} instead of \autocites{a}{b}{c} when
there are no prefixes, suffixes, or locators seems
good to me.

Does anyone see a problem with this?

I suggest you put an issue on pandoc's bug tracker
so this won't be forgotten.
