CSL has no concept of a "narrative citation," which would explain why
there's no way to distinguish formatting based on it.
There's been discussions about it, but am not remembering where we ended up.
If we don't already have it, we should have a general issue ticket on
GitHub for the broader feature, and include a note about this particular
detail there.
Even if we label it "won't fix," at least we have the documentation in one
place.
