Removing authors #110

Closed wleoncio closed 3 years ago

wleoncio commented 3 years ago

Starting a DESCRIPTION file from scratch with description$new("!new") actually comes with some fields pre-filled. Of particular interest here is the Authors@R, which comes with a "Jo Doe" placeholder. This is a field that will often get replaced with some actual values through add_author(), but how does one come around to removing "Jo Doe" afterwards?

There is also del_author().

Super, that works, thanks!
