I do not agree. If someone sets up natbib for latex export and basic for other formats, "*" will not be correctly exported in those other formats (because basic does not support @* syntax) - something fontification should better highlight for the user. Also, are there any similar non-key constructs in latex in addition to "*"? Best, Ihor
