structopt mangles colons in "author" string sourced from Cargo.toml

[ssokolow]

As a matter of convenience, I've had a spam-guarded contact form in my user.email Git property ever since I started using Git long ago.

This seems to have tripped off a bug in structopt. Cargo transcribes it correctly...

[package]
authors = ["Stephan Sokolow <http://www.ssokolow.com/ContactMe>"]

...but then, when I view the resulting --help output, the colon has been replaced with a comma followed by a space.

Stephan Sokolow <http, //www.ssokolow.com/ContactMe>

Manually specifying author="Stephan Sokolow <http://www.ssokolow.com/ContactMe>" causes it to pass through to --help unaltered.

(That said, I'm not in a hurry to have it fixed. I used author="" to silence that default as soon as I noticed it, both to achieve maximum consistency with the --help output all of the other CLI tools on my Linux machines and because it feels either egotistical or attention-seeking to display my name in my --help output.)

EDIT: Oops. forgot to mention that I'm on structopt 0.2.14. (I just began a new project and that's what cargo add structopt pulled in.)

That's because cargo separe authors with colon. I don't have any simple solution.

Couldn't this be replaced by a more context aware replace. Something that does not replace : when the : is in a < >?

[TeXitoi]

Maybe easier: do not replace if followed by //

I'll accept such a PR.

@TeXitoi we can close this

Of course, thanks for your fix.
