Change or delete keys in BIbliographyData

[Former user]

Hi I am trying to change the key string in a BibliographyData.entries dictionary. My aproach is to copy items with the new key and them delete the old elements. The first part works fine, but deletion is not implemented in OrderedCaseInsensitiveDict. Do you know any other way to do this?

It is possible to create a new BibliographyData and copy items from the old BibliographyData with add_entry().

Would be nice to be able to change keys or delete items though.

Is this something that is hard to implement? Seems like an obvious feature. I'm trying with entries.__dict__['_dict'][k], but there should be a cleaner way.

I implemented the __delitem__ method in PR #8 , not sure if that's all it takes.

This bit me as well. It would be nice if the PR was merged. I had to manually convert entry.fields to a dictionary, modify it, and then add it back to entry.fields again which felt … less than optimal.
