-- bah .. this 200 locals limit again ... so we need to split it as adding more
-- do ... ends makes it messier

-- plug the list sorted in the list mechanism (specification.sortorder)

-- If we define two datasets with the same bib file we can consider
-- sharing the data but that means that we need to have a parent which
-- in turn makes things messy if we start manipulating entries in
-- different ways (future) .. not worth the trouble as we will seldom
-- load big bib files many times and even then ... fonts are larger.

-- A potential optimization is to work with current_dataset, current_tag when
-- fetching fields but the code become real messy that way (many currents). The
-- gain is not that large anyway because not much publication stuff is flushed.
