Bug: Statutes at Large citations misclassified as case citations (124 Stat. 119)

[medelman17]

Description

Statutes at Large references (e.g., 124 Stat. 119) are being classified as type: 'case' instead of type: 'statute'. The Stat. reporter is a session law publication, not a case reporter.

Reproduction

import { extractCitations } from 'eyecite-ts'

const text = 'Pub. L. No. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119 (2010).'
const citations = extractCitations(text)

// citations[1] is { type: 'case', volume: 124, reporter: 'Stat.', page: 119 }
// Expected: type: 'statute' or a new 'sessionLaw' type

Context

This came up when parsing the ACA citation (Pub. L. No. 111-148, 124 Stat. 119 (2010)). The Pub. L. portion correctly extracts as type: 'publicLaw', but the companion Statutes at Large reference gets misclassified.

Common Statutes at Large patterns:

• 124 Stat. 119
• • 79 Stat. 911
• • • 110 Stat. 1321

Suggested Fix

Either:

1. Add Stat. to the statute pattern matcher (simplest)
2. 2. Create a dedicated sessionLaw citation type that covers Statutes at Large references
3. 3. At minimum, exclude Stat. from the case reporter matching
      Option 2 would be the most semantically correct — Statutes at Large aren't really statutes (codified law) or cases; they're session laws published chronologically.
