use_compendium is overriding `Authors@R` set as usethis.description option #95

Please wait for some discussion of your request before making a Pull Request.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. At the minute, use_compendium() overwrites the Authors@R field I have set in my profile for the usethis.description option which seems to make redundant both setting the usethis.description as the default for the fields argument and indeed the provision of that argument as it seems most of the fields will be overwritten.

Describe the solution you'd like Perhaps only override Authors@R it if it's empty or maybe not a valid person specification?

Good spotting! I've pushed a fix that checks for options in the .Rprofile and uses those for Authors@R if they are present. Thanks for spotting this!
