I kind of disagree.
There's a middle ground between super minimal and fully-featured that
I think is appropriate for oc-basic.
Nicolas is doing things with even the basic insert function that are
not possible with the existing tools currently, in part as a
demonstration of the possibilities, and also just to provide a decent
default experience.
But as I said to him off-list, if he simply changes his completion
table from being a list of keys, to a list of cons like I mentioned,
and maybe even makes the table a variable, then third-party tools can
do one of two things:
1. if the variable, simply plug-in their own completion table, and so
get a richer UI (this is the case with bibtex-actions, which has the
same data structure)
2. the code itself can be a demo that can be easily adapted; in my
case, I can pretty much copy-and-paste it and just change the "all"
let variables
Practically speaking, the ivy-bibtex "insert citation" action, which
uses the bibtex-completion-insert-citation function behind-the-scenes,
can then be enhanced such that it is more fully-featured in the
context of org than it is in other modes, and that it is now.
So enhancing this a little bit will have both short-term and long-term
pay-off, both for default citations in org, and for third-party tools.
