"TaxonAuthority" class? #43

Closed zachary-foster closed 7 years ago

Hi @sckott, I notice that the taxon man pages mention a TaxonAuthority object and the print method seems to expect one, but I do not see the code for one. Should there be such a class? It would be consistent with name, rank, and id, but I am not sure what we would gain by making it a class vs just a character. Do we want to associate the authority with a database for example?

let's just keep it as a character string, I can make a change for that.
