funkpower 6f39b75d94 citefind: the short note a history book uses for everything after the first
`Unger, Dutch Shipbuilding, 33-4` — a surname, a short title, and where in
it. No year, no publisher, nothing but commas. It is how a humanities book
cites a work it has already given in full, which is most of what its notes
are: one book in the corpus has 2,229 such chunks and this read almost none
of them.

The locators trailing a short note are not part of its title — `Sjoerds,
Algemene Beschryvinge, i, f I, 501-2` cites the Beschryvinge, not the
Beschryvinge-comma-i-comma-f-I. An entry ending on a year is an imprint and
goes on being read as one.

Also: a work after a semicolon may open on a quotation mark, and the marks a
style puts round a short title belong to the style.

626 more references over the 202 reference sections sampled from the corpus.
