+\head{Merged Numerical References}
+Do not use the \texttt{mcite} package with \thestyle; rather use the package option \texttt{merge}.
+
+
+With this option in effect, citation keys within a multiple |\citep| command
+may contain a leading * that causes them to be merged in the bibliography
+together with the previous citation as a single entry with a single reference
+number. For example, |\citep{feynmann,*salam,*epr}| produces a single number,
+and all three references are listed in the bibliography under one entry with
+that number.
+
+The \texttt{elide} option also activates the merging features, but also sees
+to it that common parts of the merged references (e.g., authors) are not
+repeated but are written only once in the single bibliography entry.
+
+The \texttt{mcite} option turns off the merging and eliding features, but
+allows the special syntax (the * and optional inserted texts) to be ignored.
+
+These functions are available only to numerical-mode citations, and only when
+used parenthetically, similar to the restrictions on \texttt{sort} and
+\texttt{compress}.
+
+They also require special \texttt{.bst} files, as provided for example by the
+American Physical Society for their REV\TeX\ class.
