Perhaps the difference is too subtle. Note that you would never deal with
a `citation' other than through a mapping.

Yeah, exactly. So the format would be a map over the list of whatevers in
ox.

Right, I was trying *to add* support for [@k1; ⋯;@kN]. One issue doing
this was that the regexp for inline citations also captured @k2 in [@k1;
@k2], but it's cause I did a mistake.

I was talking about paring [cite: pre @k post] as
(citation (:begin n :end N
:cites
'((cite (:key key :begin n1 :end N1 :prefix pre :suffix
post)))))
And not:
(citation (:begin n :end N :prefix pre :suffix post
:cites '((cite (:key key :begin n1 :end N1)))))
Perhaps I'm worrying about things that need not be worried about.
