Add articlenum field

[davidweichiang]

and maybe numpages as well.

What are you proposing exactly?

Some journals don't number pages consecutively anymore, but just number the articles. So an article has a volume, an issue number, and an article number, and no page numbers. However, this loses information about how long the article is, so sometimes citations include the page length of the article. But our BibTeX style (and most BibTeX styles) don't know how to handle this kind of citation.

Here's an example paper:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3530811

An example (wrong) citation of this paper:

How I think the BibTeX should look:

@article { tay-etal-2022-efficient,
  author = "Yi Tay and Mostafa Dehghani and Dara Bahri and Donald Metzler",
  year = 2022,
  title = "Efficient Transformers: A Survey",
  journal = "ACM Computing Surveys",
  volume = 55,
  number = 6,
  articleno = 109,
  numpages = 28,
}

How I think the citation should look:

Yi Tay, Mostafa Dehghani, Dara Bahri, and Donald Metzler. 2022. Efficient transformers: A survey. ACM Computing Surveys, 55(6), article 109, 28 pages. [Or, pages 1-28.]
