Sorry; meant to send that off-list.

But yes, to clarify: bibtex-completion is independent of the frontend.

I was mostly removing my dependency on it to get some of the benefits
of the new parsebib release (namely CSL JSON support), and because I
had some ideas I wanted to explore.

But in any case, bibtex-completion provides no front-end; you still
need a completing-read function for that, and I think bibtex-actions
provides a good one. Also, you need to wrap it's functions to get
interactive commands.
