Collapse year in narrative-style citations

[stefanocoretta]

Citation processing collapses citations of the same author when they are in-text citations (with brackets []) but not in narrative style citations.

So [@smith2000; @smith2001; @smith2002] becomes (Smith, 2000, 2001, 2002), but According to @smith2000; @smith2001; @smith2002 becomes "According to Smith (2000), Smith (2001), Smith (2002)" while it would make sense for it to be "According to Smith (2000, 2001, 2002)".

The syntax Smith [-@smith2000; -@smith2001; -@smith2002] is a bit clunky because it requires you to manually add the authors (and manually manage how to display multiple authors).

You can use According to @smith2000 [@smith2001; @smith2002], which would be generated as According to Smith (2000, 2001, 2002).
