\citep gives a author-date ref entirely in a parenthesis, while \citet
gives Rae (1999). The useful bit is, is you change for A-D style to
numerical style, using natbib, it then does the right thing, giving [1]
for the first, and Rae [1] for the latter.

As somebody doing a civil engineering PhD, I've found very few journals in
my field that use numerical references. Author-date is still all the rage.
I, for one, would also find this sort of thing v. useful.
