29.0.50; bibtex.el: Should `bibtex-parse-entry' handle curly braces inside fields? |

Hello,
Org mode is relying upon bibtex.el to parse BibTeX bibliographies.
Recently, we have got a bug report where curly braces are used inside
title field:
https://orgmode.org/list/CAF+0kSg8O3RQBG1wXoHjMEHwnGFz0gaDkTTSGv+ZaOt4d4myCA@mail.gmail.com
@InCollection{Geyer2011,
author = {Geyer, Charles J},
title = {{Introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo}},
^ ^
year = 2011,
booktitle = {{Handbook of Markov Chain Monte Carlo}},
editor = {Brooks, Steve and Gelman, Andrew and Jones, Galin and Meng,
Xiao-Li},
publisher = {CRC press},
pages = 45,
}
The curly braces inside fields are a part of BibTeX specification:
http://www.bibtex.org/SpecialSymbols/
Yet, bibtex-parse-entry simply ignores all the curly braces inside the
field and returns the field as is:
(("=type=" . "InCollection")
... ("title" . "{Introduction to Mark\\.{o}v Chain Monte Carlo}") ...)
The same goes for the \.{o} special symbol.
It would be useful if bibtex-parse-entry could process the escapes when,
say, its first optional argument CONTENT is set to 'parse.
Would it be possible?

Closing.
