Here path denotes a PICA Path (such as 003@$0), field a field reference (such as dc.creator), value a string value and contents a field content (e.g. $afoo$bbar).
[x] pica_update(path, values|contents, [options]) replace or add subfields or fields (deprecates pica_add and pica_set)
[ ] pica_replace(path, pattern, value) to search and replace in PICA subfield values with regular expression
[ ] pica_subfields(code,value,code,value...) or pica_subfields(contents) to set subfields of current field(s)
[ ] pica_annotate([path,] annotation) to set annotation
[x] pica_append([path,] value|contents) to add full field(s) or subfield(s) (maybe not needed)
[ ] pica_sort([path,] schedule)to sort and reduce to known (sub)fields
[ ] pica_reduce([path,] schedule) to reduce to known (sub)fields (?)
Existing fixes:
[x] pica_add(field, path, [options]) : should be depreacted because of order of arguments
[x] pica_set(field, path, [options]) : might be depreacted because of order of arguments. Alternative name?
