Subject: bug#38762: 26.3; reftex-citation-format doesn't know biblatex fields

For local citations outside a tex file I have

  (setq reftex-cite-format
        "[%4a, \\textit{%t}, %b %e, %u, %r %h %j \\textbf{%v} (%y), %p %<]" )

but when the database file is in biblatex format, the journal name is not in the field journal, accessed by %j, but rather in the field journaltitle, that is not detected.  E.g. the entry

@Article{Abels:slice,
  author =	 {Abels, H.},
  title =	 {Parallelizability of proper actions, global
                  {$K$}-slices and maximal compact subgroups},
  journaltitle = {Math. Ann.},
  year =	 1974,
  volume =	 212,
  pages =	 {1--19}
}

produces the local citation 

[Abels, \textit{Parallelizability of proper actions, global {$K$}-slices and maximal compact subgroups}, \textbf{212} (1974), 1--19]

with no journal name.
