from C<LaTeX::BibTeX> using the C<subs> export tag.  C<check_class> and
C<display_list> are also exportable, but only by name; they are not
included in any export tag.  (These two mainly exist for use by other
modules in the library.)  For instance, to use C<LaTeX::BibTeX> and
import the entry metatype constants and the common subroutines:

   use LaTeX::BibTeX qw(:metatypes :subs);

Another group of subroutines exists for direct manipulation of the macro
table maintained by the underlying C library.  These functions (see
L<"Macro table functions">, below) allow you to define, delete, and
query the value of BibTeX macros (or "abbreviations").  They may be
imported I<en masse> using the C<macrosubs> export tag:

   use LaTeX::BibTeX qw(:macrosubs);

=head1 CONSTANT VALUES

The C<LaTeX::BibTeX> module makes a number of constant values available.
These correspond to the values of various enumerated types in the
underlying C library, B<btparse>, and their meanings are more fully

=head2 Macro table functions

These functions allow direct access to the macro table maintained by
B<btparse>, the C library underlying C<LaTeX::BibTeX>.  In the normal
course of events, macro definitions always accumulate, and are only
defined as a result of parsing a macro definition (C<@string>) entry.
B<btparse> never deletes old macro definitions for you, and doesn't have
any built-in default macros.  If, for example, you wish to start fresh
with new macros for every file, use C<delete_all_macros>.  If you wish
to pre-define certain macros, use C<add_macro_text>.  (But note that the
C<Bib> structure, as part of its mission to emulate BibTeX 0.99, defines
