Oh dear, once you go into the gory details of bibliographies, there's
no end to it...

Thanks Taco, that's sweet. Maybe other users can chime in. I'm still
thinking whether it would be useful to add an option that would
append maybeyyear only to the reference key, not to the list... Such
as a bibliographic style that would produce this sort of list:
Hoekwater 2006a = Hoekwater, "Article 1,"
JournalA 2 (2006) 20--30
Hoekwater 2006b = Hoekwater, "Article 2,"
JournalB 2 (2006) 30--40
But disregard this if you think it's silly or if it's too difficult
to implement.
