Yep, that's my bad, sorry.

Pandoc says: "The citation key must begin with a letter or _, and may
contain alphanumerics, _, and internal punctuation characters
(:.#$%&-+?<>~/)."

I dropped the second underscore when I was writing the grammar.  Thanks,
Vaisheeswaran, for noticing.  Nicolas, IMO we should update the parser
to allow underscores in keys (including at the final character, I
guess).

Best,
Richard
