I considered that, but dropped the idea because of various reasons:
natbib does not have uppercase version of the commands (e.g. \Citep), I
had to include them in biblatex.el anyway. Other commands like
\citeauthor are already in biblatex.el and I didn't want to go for a
possible clash. As a personal note, I'm not really happy with the
function `natbib-note-args' which inserts a pair of brackets when pre
and post notes are omitted:

\bibliography{natbib-test}
\begin{document}
Eval (setq TeX-arg-cite-note-p t)
Hitting `C-c C-m RET citep RET RET lamp RET RET' inserts
\citep[]{lamp:94}.
% ^^
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And finally, I was reluctant to load a style where the respective
package is marked "incompatible".
I don't have a strong opinion on this. We can proceed with whatever you
think fits better.
Best, Arash
