[racket] "and" in author names in scriblib

Oh, I'm not sure of the best way, but way that should work is if you
port that one by hand. Just remove it from the bibtex file in question
and write out the corresponding call to make-bib. (I hope you'll find
that Matthew's API is a lot less painful and error-prone than
bibtex's!).

You should be able to define the result of the call to make-bib:

(define a-paper (make-bib ... #:author (authors (author-name "Edward L." ....))

 and then:

   @citet[a-paper]

in your paper (assuming you passed citet as the last argument to
define-bibtex-cite* or the third to define-bibtex-cite). The docs for
define-bibtex-cite* are a little unclear to me, but I think it should
work to do that. I've given up on bibtex, personally, because my
bibtex code was all crap anyway.
