Description

Would it make sense to absorb the functionality of the DOI package into hyperref?

I find that I always load these together for linking references, and I suspect that's true for many other users. Merging these would save a step. \doi is useful in both bibliography and in main text.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the DOI package and hyperref’s existing reference-linking functionality; done would require a decided scope for absorbing the DOI command and an agreed implementation plan.
