This is a more difficult problem actually, because Bibtex allows more

I tried to ask for bibtex.el to handle the accurate parsing in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=57712, but it looks like
it is not of interest upstream. So, we may have to implement a Bibtex
entry parser according to the spec.

Wow, I didn't see any of that when I was looking at this. I should have guessed there was more under the surface---there always is with LaTeX. Thanks for the history.

"If this doesn't fit your needs for org mode, I suggest you develop a LaTeX parser that can process LaTeX code according to your needs." Ah well.
