I've the feeling that the bibtex package, providing \cite, \reference, \loadbibliography etc. is somewhat ill-named, it should be bibliography, and support for bibliography formats should be provided in their own files. Besides .bib, one could want to provide references in RIS, Refer, EndNotes... or even CSL-JSON, eventually...). It's a bit soon to say, maybe, and I didn't want to split things too early here.

Whatever, having the LSP instructed for type safety and parameter meanings (regardless of an eventual doc generation) is always nice, no?

Yes I agree this should be a bibliography package with somewhat modular support for loaders. We can probably go ahead and rename the package and just provide the old name as a shim for now so it doesn't have to be a breaking change yet, just a deprecation notice on the old name.

As for the docstring hints, sure, and it should affect editors editing that file. Just be aware it won't get published since it isn't a public function.
