get_seen_nameyear

    Get the count of an labelname/labelyear combination for tracking
    extrayear. It uses labelyear plus name as we need to disambiguate
    entries with different labelyear (like differentiating 1984--1986 from
    just 1984)

incr_seen_nameyear

    Increment the count of an labelname/labelyear combination for extrayear
    We pass in the name and year strings separately as we have to
    be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
    a name component. Otherwise, extrayear gets defined for all
    entries with no name but the same year etc.

get_seen_nametitle

    Get the count of an labelname/labeltitle combination for tracking
    extratitle.

incr_seen_nametitle

    Increment the count of an labelname/labeltitle combination for extratitle
    We pass in the name and year strings seperately as we have to
    be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
    a title component. Otherwise, extratitle gets defined for all
    entries with no title.

get_seen_titleyear

    Get the count of an labeltitle/labelyear combination for tracking
    extratitleyear

incr_seen_titleyear

    Increment the count of an labeltitle/labelyear combination for extratitleyear
    We pass in the title and year strings seperately as we have to
    be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
    a title component. Otherwise, extratitleyear gets defined for all
    entries with no title.

uniquelistcount

get_uniquelistcount

    Get the number of uniquelist entries for a (possibly partial) list

add_uniquelistcount_minyear

    Incremenent the count for a list and year to the data for a name
    Used to track uniquelist = minyear

get_uniquelistcount_minyear

    Get the count for a list and year to the data for a name
    Used to track uniquelist = minyear

get_uniquelistcount_final

    Get the number of uniquelist entries for a full list

reset_uniquelistcount

    Reset the count for list parts and complete lists

list_differs_nth

    Returns true if some other list differs at passed nth place
    and is at least as long
    list_differs_nth([a, b, c, d, e], 3) = 1
    if there is another list like any of these:
    [a, b, d, e, f]
    [a, b, e, z, z, y]

list_differs_last

    Returns true if some list differs from passed list in its last place
    list_differs_last([a, b, c]) = 1
    if there is another list like any of these:
    [a, b, d]
    [a, b, d, e]

list_differs_superset

    Returns true if some list differs from passed list by being
    identical to the list up to the end of the list but also
    by having extra elements after this
    list_differs_superset([a, b, c]) = 1
    if there is another list like any of these:
    [a, b, c, d]
    [a, b, c, d, e]

uniquenamecount

get_numofuniquenames

    Get the number of uniquenames entries for a visible name

get_numofuniquenames_all

    Get the number of uniquenames entries for a name

add_uniquenamecount

    Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
    (only called for visible names)

add_uniquenamecount_all

    Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
    (called for all names)

reset_uniquenamecount

    Reset the list of names which have the name part in it

_get_uniquename

    Get the list of name contexts which contain a name
    Mainly for use in tests

crossrefkeys

get_crossrefkeys

    Return ref to array of keys which are crossref targets

get_crossrefkey

    Return an integer representing the number of times a
    crossref target key has been ref'ed

del_crossrefkey

    Remove a crossref target key from the crossrefkeys state

incr_crossrefkey

    Increment the crossreferences count for a target crossref key

set_displaymode

    Set the display mode for a field.
    setdisplaymode(['entrytype'], ['field'], ['citekey'], $value)
    This sets the desired displaymode to use for some data in the bib.
    Of course, this is entirey separate semantically from the
    displaymodes *defined* in the bib which just tell you what to return
    for a particular displaymode request for some data.

get_displaymode

    Get the display mode for a field.
    getdisplaymode(['entrytype'], ['field'], ['citekey'])
    Returns the displaymode. In order of decreasing preference, returns:
    1. Mode defined for a specific field in a specific citekey
    2. Mode defined for a citekey
    3. Mode defined for a fieldtype (any citekey)
    4. Mode defined for an entrytype (any citekey)
    5. Mode defined globally (any citekey)

dump

    Dump config information (for debugging)
