Let all acronym commands act as if their starred form also in \title, \author, \date

[dbitouze]

I've read the warning:

In a number of contexts all acronym commands act as if their starred form is used: in the
table of contents, in the list of figures, and in the list of tables. The same is true for floats
and the measuring phase of common table environments like tabularx or ltxtable.

and that's a nice feature.

May I suggest making the title's commands (\title, \author, \date) be one of these contexts. It would be nice e.g. in the following case where the first occurrence of \ac{mit} in the text would be welcome to be printed in its full form:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{acro}
\DeclareAcronym{mit}{
  short = MIT ,
  long = Massachusetts Institute of Technology
}
\title{Interesting document}
\author{Jane Doe\\\acs{mit}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
This work has been done at the \ac{mit}.
\end{document}

You can use \acswitchoff and \acswitchon for a manual solution but a patch to \maketitle seems reasonable.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{acro}
\DeclareAcronym{mit}{
  short = MIT ,
  long = Massachusetts Institute of Technology
}

\title{Interesting document}
\author{Jane Doe\\\acs{mit}}

\begin{document}

\acswitchoff\maketitle\acswitchon

This work has been done at the \ac{mit}.

\end{document}
