They are close, but ....

... 300 LOC is indeed pretty compact.

BTW, I did get it all setup, and do seem to have run into a bug.

Input:

[cite/noauthor:@latexcompanion p23]

Output (not position of the locator label):

(p 1993, 23)

BTW, I mentioned on the citeproc-el issue tracker that it should be
pretty straightforward to add support for both the "author" and "text"
styles there, and then in turn here:

https://github.com/andras-simonyi/citeproc-el/issues/15

This is because "text" is basically just "author/bare" + "noauthor".
