I've come across some source data that uses " - " rather than ", " as a delimiter for healthcare providers with multiple credentials. Under these conditions, nameparser breaks down pretty badly. Adding "-" to CONSTANTS.suffix_acronyms corrects the bad behavior for the most part, although I'd still prefer to have the individual suffixes identified as shown in the final "MD, DO, DDS" example so that my name formatting remains consistent in both cases. Any thoughts on how this might be solved holistically?
(obviously, a simple replace of " - " with ", " prior to calling HumanName in the first place will also solve my issue, so this one may be more academic than practical 😆)
