%% \parsename{<english name>}
%%
%% Parses out the parts of the given english name, i.e. the last name,
%% first name, middle names (rest), prefix titles, and suffix titles.
%% It puts each of these into a macro.
%%
%% macros:          meaning:
%%   \parseprefix     prefix title(s)
%%   \parsefirst      first name
%%   \parserest       middle name(s)
%%   \parselast       last name
%%   \parsesuffix     suffix title(s)
%%   \parsecomma      normally blank (see below)
%%   \parsealpha      alphabetic string
%%
%%
%% Does first, rest (middle), and last names on its own:
%%
%% \parsename{Jones}
%%   \parseprefix -> ""
%%   \parsefirst  -> ""
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Jones"
%%   \parsesuffix -> ""
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%
%% \parsename{John Doe}
%%   \parseprefix -> ""
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> ""
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%
%% \parsename{John Billy Bo Bob Doe}
%%   \parseprefix -> ""
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> "Billy Bo Bob"
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> ""
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%
%%
%% Handles comma separated suffixes on its own:
%%
%% \parsename{John Doe, Jr.}
%%   \parseprefix -> ""
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> "Jr."
%%   \parsecomma  -> ","
%%
%%
%% Uses 2 markers: \pre and \suf, for prefixes and suffixes,
%% respectively. \pre overrides \suf; \suf overrides ","; and
%% \parsecomma is blank if \suf is used:
%%
%% \parsename{Doctor \pre John Doe \suf III}
%%   \parseprefix -> "Doctor"
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> "III"
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%
%% \parsename{Doctor \pre John Doe, Jr.}
%%   \parseprefix -> "Doctor"
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> "Jr."
%%   \parsecomma  -> ","
%%
%%
%% Includes \parsealpha as the name string for alphabetizing.  (spaces
%% between parts in \parsealpha are not "ignored" by TeX, i.e.
%% similar to effect of \obeyspaces):
%%
%% \parsename{Doctor \pre John Bob Doe \suf III, PhD}
%%   \parseprefix -> "Doctor"
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> "Bob"
%%   \parselast   -> "Doe"
%%   \parsesuffix -> "III, PhD"
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%   \parsealpha  -> "Doe  John  Bob  Doctor  III, PhD"
%%
%% \parsename{Doctor \pre John}
%%   \parseprefix -> "Doctor"
%%   \parsefirst  -> ""
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "John"
%%   \parsesuffix -> ""
%%   \parsecomma  -> ""
%%   \parsealpha  -> "John      Doctor  "
%%
%%
%% Order it parses: first looks for \pre, and anything before it
%% becomes \parseprefix.  Second looks in remainder of name for \suf,
%% anything after it becomes \parsesuffix.  If there was no \suf,
%% looks for the first comma, anything after it and the comma become
%% \parsesuffix and \parsecomma becomes "," (if neither \suf nor any
%% commas are there, \parsesuffix is blank).  Next, last word in
%% remainder becomes \parselast (words are delimited by spaces).
%% First word in remainder, if any, becomes \parsefirst.  Anything
%% left becomes \parserest.
%%
%%
%% Since words are parsed by spaces, to make two or more words parse as
%% one, enclose them in matching braces:
%%
%% \parsename{John {Bob Doe}}
%%   \parsefirst  -> "John"
%%   \parserest   -> ""
%%   \parselast   -> "Bob Doe"
%%
%%
%% \parsename[<string>]{<english name>} appends <string> to the
%% command names (so multiple uses of \parsename won't try to use the
%% same macro names):
%%
%% \parsename[FOO]{John Doe}
%%   \parsefirstFOO -> "John"
%%   \parselastFOO  -> "Doe"
%%   etc.
%%
%% \parsename[BAR]{Jane Smith}
%%   \parsefirstBAR -> "Jane"
%%   \parselastBAR  -> "Smith"
%%   etc.
