Proposal: Adding a 'poorman' option for removing acro dependency in post-processing #246

Hi. Love this package. Unfortunately, many journals and conferences have strict conformance requirements on the source code, and experimental LaTeX3 is generally disallowed. I would like to request a feature, similar to cleveref. Citing from their documentation:

When the poorman option is supplied, your document will be processed as normal. But in addition, a sed script will automatically be written, containing rules for replacing all the cleveref commands with the LATEX code that they would produce, and using the standard \ref command to produce the cross- references themselves. I.e. the script rewrites your document as you would have done if you had had to do it manually!
