[referencer] Use of BibLaTeX

[Zunbeltz Izaola]

Dear all,

I am on my way to switch using BibLaTeX.  I would like to continue using 
referencer. My idea is to extend referencer to show all the entry/field 
tipyes supported by BibLaTeX. I tried to do it with a plug-in but it 
seems that the python binding has no access to all the classes.

I will need help by extending the python binding in the following ways
registerField
1)  Have access to the DocumentTypeManager class to use registerField 
and be able to add  DocumentType for the new documents types.

2) Because biblatex allow a great number of fields, the 
documentproperties.ui should be changed.
I think that fields should be have a property that mandatory/optional[*] 
as mentioned in the biblatex documentation.
I would show the mandatory fields as it is done now in referencer and I 
would group all the optional in a GTKexpander as it is done for the 
extra fields (but show all the possibilities for each document type as 
with the regular fields).


Ideally it should be done by a plug-in (I guess there is lot of people 
that would like to stay with plain BibTeX). I am not sure which part 
could be accessed at start up by python.

What do you think about it?

Best regards,

Zunbeltz

[*] The fields are not really mandatory as in the BibTeX case.
