There should be an API for parsing and formatting Author lists, such as the
contents of "author" and "editor" BibTeX entry fields.
The AuthorListParser class would parse a string to a java.util.List of Author
objects, which then provide accessor methods for working with different parts
of the name such as the first name, the middle name, the last name, titles etc.
The BibTeX standard provides rules for the task. However, the parser will need
to be coded manually.
