Am I right that key-ending punctuation is a potential problem for the
shorthand part of the syntax and not for the full [cite: ...] syntax?

I'm asking because I haven't fully grasped uses for the shorthand.  What
is the use case?

Won't the Org mode user configure a tool like reftex or ebib (or
something else) to insert citations?

All the best,
Tom
