Probably that's a good idea, but do we really need Author: tags? I
know we have those in a few places, but certainly not everywhere, and
as time goes by they tend to be less accurate reflections of who wrote
the latest code (as opposed to the original code). Furthermore, every
time we include them, it tends to increase the demand to add even more
of them because, hey, everybody likes to be acknowledged.
