comment: Note that the Europe PMC instance redirects canonical local unique identifiers
  from https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3084216 to https://europepmc.org/article/PMC/3084216.
  However, this is an implementation detail and does not reflect the official format
  of a PMC identifier, which indeed does include `PMC` at the beginning of the local
  unique identifier
