Re: org-cite: make 'suppress-author' a citation 'style'

[András Simonyi]

Dear All,

my 2c on this issue: citeproc-el supports per cite author suppression
under the hood, but citeproc-org always maps "suppress author" mode
citations to suppressing only the first cite, because my impression
was also that this is a citation-level option. This is how the
proposal on the citeproc-el wiki treats it too (which was, BTW, joint
work with Denis Maier).

best regards,
András
