Feature request: parse author names

[andrechalom]

BibTex recognizes four parts of an author's name: First Von Last Jr.

For instance, the entry "Ludwig von Beethoven" has First: "Ludwig", von-part: "von" and Last: "Beethoven" and no Junior-part. The entry "Ford, Jr., Henry" has First: "Henry", no von-part, Last: "Ford" and Junior-part: "Jr.".

Is it possible to implement this parsing of names on bibtex-parser? The only PHP library I found that implements this is a very old and unmantained one, called Structures_BibTex.

Is it possible to implement this parsing of names on bibtex-parser?

Yes, it's :) I think it could be a nice feature to add to this library

Thanks for the references, the parser code is "already" done and looks good at a glance https://github.com/pear/Structures_BibTex/blob/master/Structures/BibTex.php#L619-L751

Do you think the usage below is reasonable?

$listener->setTagValueProcessor(new AuthorProcessor());

Could you have time to start implementing this? If not, no problem

Yes, that seems very reasonable. I'll try to write a PR.
